- heavyset_go 6y agoThis is the same orange site that thinks the Python 2 to Python 3 breaking changes are still relevant and worth arguing about in 2021.
- SubjectToChange 6y agoThis is quite an alarming attitude that seems to be most common among the Python community. It seems like the 2->3 transition filtered out devs who felt strongly about backwards compatibility and the remaining devs have relatively little patience for objections against breaking changes. There is a huge benefit to keeping existing code working as it is. Both for businesses and the ecosystem. It benefits everyone if the language does everything it can to keep that intact.
