A significant portion of what made Python so popular was its stability. For a decade, for most people, Python 2.7 was Python.
Python 3 is imbued with a level of "live at head" zeitgeist that is neither of complete nor limited-but-manageable.

@microsoft.com There is one feature I would really like in Copilot, which is to not have it all.

I was able to make the format LALR1 and performant with two quick tweaks:
1. only parse strings that start AND end with { and }, you could add your own, but this gives me an early out from our locstrings;
2. require variables to be prefixed with '#' but don't otherwise special case it.

If you've ever had to deal @unicode.org's ICU Format Message but libicu was not an option, two small tweaks will turn it from evil to viable.
Problem: a format is only a format when it's not plain text.

I should probably do a proper blog post or video on what's good and worthwhile about Catch2, but I think for now it's best to summarize that the meaty value is if you can use the BDD DSL to organize and write your tests.
