     @kirby ```python3

     def better_for_loop[T](it: Iterable[T], fin: Callable[[], None] = lambda: None) -> Generator[T, None, bool]:
     if not it:
     return False
     yield from it

     @kirby This is stupid. Make for...else for if the iterable evaluates false (if there's a for _ in x...else, have that be syntactic sugar for if x for _ in x... else), then use finally. You'd need to decide if the finally would trigger even if the for loop returns (I would make it so), though.

     @kirby I'm not retarded, that should be the intuitive understanding of it. Its iterable was empty, so it evaluates to false (unless you did something stupid), so the else triggers

     @kirby fuck I looked it up, I thought the else only triggered if the for loop was empty

     @theorytoe @kirby You can do shit like l = list[T]() and I think that's pretty sexy but the people here hate it.

     @theorytoe @kirby I think it's useful to say 'whatever type this is, if it occurs here, it will also occur here'

     If you're getting to more complicated shit like 'whatever type this is, a subtype with __open__ defined on it will occur here', you are going to hell you are going to hell you are going to hell you are g

     fair, but even then considering you can just have shit happen if you dont specify types its like why have a generic when T is T
