I'm going to call BS on that one.
If you're having issues with Python 2, then it might make more sense to switch to another language instead of upgrade to Python 3. But going from Python 2 to 3 is much easier than switching languages completely.
Python is not a perfect language. There is no perfect language. It sounds like your company just had a reason for switching to a JVM language and the Python 2 EOL was a justification to start.
- glofish 7y agoI agree - the statement that migrating from Python 2 to Python 3 is a comparable effort to migrating from Python 2 to Go feels grossly exaggerated.
- tapirl 7y agoAT least, it is more exciting for a developer to migrate from Python 2 to Go than to Python 3. :D
- rlonstein 7y agoI'm skeptical too but if they're doing a lot of communication with other services and they relied on bytes and ASCII just working and the code isn't backed up by tests then I can see them having a very bad time going from Py2 to Py3.
