I'm 38, and I'm fine with these changes, and ive been using Python for +15 years.
I can plainly see how these changes will actually make my code cleaner and more obvious while saving me keystrokes.
I also don't think these changes are very drastic. They're opt-in, doesn't break anything and looks to lead to cleaner code. I love the walrus operator (not so sure about the name, but hey. C++ is getting the spaceship operator... As has been said, naming things is hard). To me, the change of print from a statement to a function has been the hardest Python chamge over the years. Just too much mental momentum. Even though ive been on Python 3 for years, I still make the mistake of trying to use it as a statement. That said, I think it was the right (if painful) move.
I don't speak for everyone over 35, just myself.
