So, you want a language nobody will use. Look at how badly Python 3 turned out, and it wasn't even that hard to port code.

- alkonaut 10y agoI think the problem with Py2 vs 3 is mostly down to the horrible mistake of some operating systems to bundle a "system Python" which makes it very hard to break things because systems (rather than just developers) are depending on it for god knows what.
- tcbawo 10y agoMy impression is that Python 3 finally has critical mass. After 3.5, most of the heavy users I know have switched or are considering switching.
- overgard 10y agoI hope so, but it was a sordid mess to get there.
- BeetleB 10y agoI mean, was it? My Linux system has both installed. Software that needs one or the other just works. I recently converted my scripts to Python3. I was shocked at how easy it was. Didn't spend more than a few minutes on any given script. No dependencies that I need that aren't in Python3.
