      cries in left_pad

      It’s kind of astonishing how many people leaned on that library just to add fucking spaces to strings

        It should be in the standard library anyway. Why the hell is it not?!

        I mean yeah, I can write my own function to do the same thing and probably I’ve done it at some point in some coding exercise as a beginner, but this seems like such a common thing to use, it should be in the standard library of any sane language.
