Retirement has always sounded boring anyways. Congrats to Guido, I wonder what he will be working on specifically. Python could be improved on Windows, even simple cases don't work quite as expected always. I would expect Python is used decently widely at MS anyways. Maybe Python being first class on .NET? Or some Python specific things for Azure.
- lostmsu 6y agoThere already is IronPython. But it lacks community, and stalled after 2.7 release. All CPython alternatives stall do due to the widely used C API (required for NumPy, TensorFlow, etc). This API is very CPython specific. There is some work on both sides, that might overcome the issue though: CPython is trying to decouple API from the implementation details, while .NET is working on better C interop story (.NET 5 just introduced ability to export managed functions as C functions).
