Is the next release still planned to be called Python 4? I seem to recall GvR saying that at one point, though I could be mistaken.

- twic 6y agoAfter that will be Python 3.11, and after that, Python for Workgroups 3.11.
- doersino 6y agoPython 95 is gonna blow everyone's minds.
- BiteCode_dev 6y agoWith semver, it's going to be too long to reach. I suggest we switch to the Firefox versioning scheme, it seems to already be near this goal.
- _jal 6y agoYeah, but PythoNT will be around for a long time.
- mixmastamyk 6y agoStart me up!
- pansa2 6y agoYou make a grown man cry...
- agumonkey 6y agothe first release with Plug and Pep
- cozzyd 6y agoFollowed by inexplicably jumping to pithon.
- downerending 6y agoAnd very importantly, would Python 4 be a new language, or compatible with Python 3? (compare Python 3 vs Python 2)
- BiteCode_dev 6y agoThere is no Python 4 planned for now. Python broke compat once in 25 years and gave 13 years to migrate. It's a very conservative language.
- downerending 6y agoI'm struggling to think of any other language that has done something like this. It might seem like a quibble, but it seems better to describe Python 3 as a different language versus Python 2. Newbies seem to get that. (Or, alternatively, "How many Python 2 scripts will run on a Python 3 interpreter?" Answer: "None of them.")
- jnwatson 6y agoSwift has had 3 backwards incompatible versions of larger scope in less time.
- vasco 6y agoPHP which tried to address unicode in version 6, but then abandoned it and went straight to 7. Perl, which amusingly also at version 6 decided on a huge re-write, but then just decided to rename the version as an actual new language "Raku".
- downerending 6y agoRe Raku, in hindsight, this was the right call. Give a new language a new name, and the story stays simple.
