I think closed time-like curves are not a desirable feature in a scripting language. I wouldn't want to end up being my own grandfather by mistake.


Python is meant to be easy to use, not paradoxless. If you want no paradoxes just use C++.


C++ is very irregular in the corners byt nuch more regular than you might think in its core concepts.


That's a bad idea given the sheer amount of "undefined behavior" in the language. To remind, UB means that your app can do what you expect, or it might delete all your files... or it might cause a time-travel paradox erasing your very existence to avoid the offending code from ever being written in the first place. You never know!
