That's only two points. :-)
On 1; If that's true, I won't mention git again.
On 2; Who knows what their life cycle is. CVS is pretty much
dead, and svn looks like it is on the way out.
I can't think of how anything could be better than
mercurial or bzr but I know I will be proved wrong.
At the end of the day, we are making a decision about whether
the language is 'set-in-stone' or whether it is still
evolving.
To me, Python 1.x had it's own distinct "era", as has
Python 2.x
Hoping that the Python 3 era can be a little more flexible
and perphaps "cleaner" than the 2.x era is all that I am
thinking here.
Have a nice day
David
