What makes 3.8 feel more modern than 3.7 for you? Isn’t the main difference the infamous “walrus” operator?

f-strings mainly. The walrus operator is great because it's so easy to do lisp things with it

3.6 was the version that introduced f-strings. 3.8 added the unrelated walrus operator, but it did also add the `=` debugging syntax for f-strings (I haven't been using it because doing it the old way is practically muscle memory, and the code isn't supposed to be permanent anyway).
