It's a concise keyword for a very common type of validation, but it gets ignored if Python is run in optimised mode. However no one really runs Python in optimised mode so there are arguments on both sides about whether or not you should use assert.
Personally I also dislike that it always throws an AssertionError, so you can't use custom error types for the sake of user friendliness.

(I'm using the #MicroPrompt #Assert.)
"You aren't assertive enough,"
Warned a lawyer. "You need to be tough
To make it in law.
You've a terrible flaw,
So nix law school. You lack the right stuff!"

I'm used to using assert in tests. What I can't fathom is whether they are used more liberally in #rustlang than other languages or perhaps I'm woefully out of date abd they are common place everywhere these days.

@b0rk I use #assert a lot for all sorts of pre- and postconditions. Also useful for checking that code is on the correct dispatch queue in #SwiftLang:
