TBH, I’ve worked with people who have very fancy rules and a ton of config, but I’ve never been convinced they need them. It usually either stems from the tools they’re using not having good defaults, or from the people themselves being total control freaks. Black’s superpower is its ability to completely shut down discussions with control freaks.

For me personally, whilst I’ll be very glad to see landmine-free multithreading, I don’t want world domination. Other languages exist for good reasons, and trying to adapt Python to fit into other languages shoes isn’t necessarily going to make it better.

If you’re using either of these functions to measure latency, you’re doing it wrong. You most likely want to be using time.monotonic() or time.perf_counter(), since neither will be affected by NTP updates.
