In my mind, creating a Python 4 that would be a consolidation of all of these things under one release umbrella (or at least a major release), so that things could be synchronized would be a good way to handle this. Right now, things are all over the place, and things that used to work 5 years ago still kindof work, rather than either working or failing. And it's that "partial working" that really gets developers ticked off. Rust is doing some interesting things with Rust 2018 Edition, where there is a complete system harmonization point. If it takes off there, I'd expect other languages to pick it up. My question though is a bit different: Can Python catch up? I know - strange question, but momentum is like that. It's often hard to see something going faster than you until it passes you. Perl is probably the best example, where it was way out front, and the PHP, which was way behind, but going mach 10, passed it quickly in the web space. Perl never caught up, and has lost significant relevance compared to the stature it used to command.
