Hi
if stackless 2.8 serves as a melting pot for new ideas and
implementations and aggregates what's out there, it's a win for me.
I like the idea of not having to write my own process management
system to reap the benefits of multicore architectures with ease and I
also like to have the light weight multiprocessing with tasklets and
channels, which was way back then what fascinated me about massive MP
in simulations done with OCCAM and the transputer architecture from
INMOS.
All in all, I like stackless and where its going a lot and it feels
good to see that there is a future for the 2.x series, which not only
holds grunt work porting old stuff forward to three series pythons,
not leaving any time to implement new ideas and concepts.
Oh whow, what a nice reply! Thank you so much!
"Melting pot" (but careful and controlled) is a nice idiom.

Please don't get me wrong - I am converted to 3.X, after many years
I finally changed all my projects to it, but one.
The same way as I wanted to get rid of Windows since 2006, I want to get rid
of Python 2.x since 2012.
It just does not work, because customers don't believe me when I'm telling
them that the world will shutdown if they are not upgrading...
So I'm now working with OS X 10.9 and Python 3.4 as much as possible, but
have to use Parallels and a mix of Python 2.7, Windows 7 and Win XP 32
when working for money.

Anyways, it is very encouraging that you are interested in moving forward,
so I really want to see if that can work. Honestly, I will try.
cheers - Chris
