Long time ago I thought: what worst could happen? I will leave Python, like thousands before me? And I decided to stay, and even make some noises sometimes. I definitely can't reach levels of "Python3 is not Turing-complete" drama (https://www.google.com/search?q=python+3+is+not+turing+complete), but glad that my humble efforts are being noticed. The more interesting question is what will you do on the actual technical topics raised? Nothing? Something completely different? The whole story of Python3 migration (the case above) showed that: 1. All the compatibility concerns were never addressed, to punish abusive critics of Python3 (and anyone who was persistent in their critics was abusive). 2. As a particular step, when "u" string prefix for unicode strings was reintroduced, it was made as "z", again, to punish all the critics. Sorry, abusive critics. So, it's a real intrigue how future technical challenges will be addressed, if at all. > > —Guido (speaking for myself only) -- Best regards, Paul mailto:pmis...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/6TLOTGKQ4ZJR5O5UTNPGREGHK2PMHFDA/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
