- ams6110 9y agoI think it's fair to say those languages have "faded" I would also say Python 2 has "faded" or started to. Faded doesn't mean it isn't used anymore. It mean it's retreated into a niche, and is no longer on the short list for new development, and no longer interesting to most developers.
- oblio 9y agoYour average Python 2 programmers “becomes” a Python 3 programmers after 8 hours of practice. I find your argument invalid :) Also, Python 2 sees and will probably see more production use than Lisp for at least a few more years :)
