What I am looking forward to in Python 3.9

• Strings get removeprefix() and removesuffix()
• New ways to merge or update dicts with the '|' (merge) and '|=' (update) operators

Ambivalent on

• I use type hinting a lot. So I have to import typing.List in order to do types like List[str]. 3.9 will let you use the built in so the above will look like list[str];
