Why the Pendulum library built Python's strangest plus operator
Original: Why Pendulum had to write the most cursed "+" operator in all of Python
Developer Arie Bovenberg has published a detailed post explaining why Pendulum, a popular Python date and time library, implements an unusual override of the plus operator. The writeup walks through the technical constraints that forced the library's custom handling of datetime arithmetic, and it has drawn attention from Python developers interested in API design quirks.
Why now: Python developers find the deep-dive into an unusual operator-overloading workaround in a widely used library interesting.
