As to overloading as in multiple signatures (No types here!) for the same method name, it is not possible in the regular sense in Python since an object is more or less a dictionary of names. However, the dynamicity of the language will happily allow you to simulate it with YOUR own rules for disambiguation if you like. In practice, you'd 1. Don't 2. *args, **kwargs, Branches of is None and isinstance, etc.

    $ # No modules
    $ clang++ -std=c++23 -stdlib=libc++ a.cpp # 4.8s
    $ # With modules
    $ clang++ -std=c++23 -stdlib=libc++ --precompile -o std.pcm /path/to/libc++/v1/std.cppm # 4.6s but this is done once
    $ clang++ -std=c++23 -stdlib=libc++ -fmodule-file=std=std.pcm b.cpp # 1.5s 

Notice that this is an extreme example since we're importing the whole standard library and is actually discouraged [^1]. Instead you can get through the day with just these flags: `-stdlib=libc++ -fimplicit-modules -fimplicit-module-maps` and of course -std=c++20 or later, no extra files/commands required! but you are only restricted to doing import ; and such, no import std.

[^1]: non-standard headers like `bits/stdc++.h` which does the same thing (#including the whole standard library) is what is actually discouraged because a. non-standard and b. compile-times, but I can see `import std` solving these two and being encouraged once it's widely available!

Even the least offenders, GitHub Pages, broke links before [0].

    >>> s="1"+"0"*4300

    ValueError: Exceeds the limit (4300 digits) for integer string conversion: 
    value has 4301 digits; use sys.set_int_max_str_digits() to increase the limit

Your sibling comment suggests using decimal.Decimal which handles parsing >4300 digit numbers (by default).

> Like their ship or their bodies, their written language has no forward or backward direction. Linguists call this "nonlinear orthography", which raises the question: Is this how they think?

While the movie explores philosophical questions other than "Arrival" and does a quiet beautiful job at that, actual linguistic experts have helped making it and it has been praised for its accuracy. I suggest you give it a go.

I think what's somehow interesting about this is in the footer of the page:

This is not my first attempt at a virtual machine implementation, I've done the popular LC-3 VM before [1], check it out if you're interested to see Rust code rather than C++ ;)

Consider a hospital, many statistics can be collected o provide insights and make immediate decisions, faster algorithms and new ones to problems we couldn't solve back then have been discovered, the UI/UX can always be improved for productivity, etc. All of that makes money.

Software customers aren't, and shouldn't be, one-time shoppers; there's always room for improvement and new needs pop up all the time.
