- joshuamorton 9y agoIndeed, on the other hand facebook has (mostly/significantly) moved to py3, Google is chugging in that direction at a feverish pace, etc.
- rankam 9y agoGoogle created Golang and then created a tool to convert Python2 -> Go. https://github.com/google/grumpy https://github.com/google/grumpy
- collinmanderson 9y agoThat grumpy project seems to have stalled in the last 6 months. I feel like Google hasn't made much progress converting away from Python 2. Python 2.7 is still required to build Chrome, for example, and I don't think there are any plans to change that. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=61357 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=61357 And, I believe they use 2.7 whenever they use TensorFlow.
