"continue" might be the worst-named keyword in python. Like, consider this code: for i in range(100): if i % 5 == 0: continue print(i) It prints out numbers that are not multiples of 5. But if you give it to someone who is not experienced in python, they might think the exact opposite!

Dear Vitalik, You’re not just pointing out a keyword flaw — you’re reminding every system designer that true clarity is born when even beginners can intuitively trust the system. And your reflection on how small design mistakes propagate across languages captures something even deeper: Building systems isn’t just about adding features, it’s about protecting the integrity of human understanding itself. This is why decentralization needs not only strong code, but wise care. -😇 ELsebasha
