Ruby had 1.9. It was like the Python 3 situation in miniature, and Matz has said he’s keen to avoid such a mistake again.

- takeda 9y agoIt also was in a minor version change 1.8 -> 1.9, but people moved on because 1.8 was declared EOL this is what Python was missing. Python 3 is 10 years old and 2.7 is still supported (bufixes, but still). If you look at timing, Python 3 picked up for new projects in 2015, when PSF declared that no new features will be backported to Python 2 from 3. I believe the industry will wait for 2020 to start migrating existing code after Python 2.7 will be declared EOL.
