I see your point and I'd tend to agree, except that we've all seen cases of successful projects suffering under the umbrella of a big company. If Google took care of Nim or D, I'd be more than happy. But Python? It's doing well, they better leave it alone.
- nexthash 6y agoYeah, Python has been the wonder child of the programming world for as long as I can remember. People have very strong beliefs on the subject - I remember how everybody went up in arms over the walrus operator (a := b) issue. I hope that all parties involved appreciate Python's position and longevity, while approaching the task of maintaining it with respect. I personally do not expect Google or any other Big Tech to be running roughshod over such a treasure anytime soon.
- dvfjsdhgfv 6y agoWhile personally I feel adding features might be cointerproductive, there are probably two features that would gain unanimous acceptance: (1) removing the GIL - involving an unimaginable amount of work, (2) increasing the speed of CPython itself.
