> Very nice writing except the python part. Just 2to3 really have been a maintenance pain for me. I agree. I could have been talked into getting onboard with Python for long-term low-maintenance projects if only they didn't burn everybody with the backwards compatibility. I understand of course why the changes were made, but it doesn't make it any easier. It's not impossible that 3 -> 4 will do the same. I was wondering the other day whether something that is already dead might make a better scripting language. For example, you haven't got to worry about any random changes to the COBOL language! I suspect something like JS is pretty much at maturity now with WebASM poised to replace it.
