I believe you're misrepresenting what I said. I got no horse in the race and I don't care if Python is "going away". It likely will not since it has a huge inertia and devoted fans. Furthermore, you citing the current state of affairs is not convincing. You're basically saying "the sun is shining now at noon, surely it will keep shining during midnight". Or "right now it's raining so surely it'll keep raining 24/7 for the next year". Also who predicts stuff for 2030 with 90% confidence? I'd like to have that person's self-esteem because nobody can predict as far into the future. I've been part of a number of communities and Python's seems dysfunctional and anarchic. Maybe that's a good thing and breeds creative forces -- the proponents certainly make that case, I heard, and I'm not opposed to the idea, just a tad skeptical. Time will tell, right? In the meantime, Python is still missing some stability guarantees and a good package manager. As a programmer that's a turnoff, so I work with other languages. Make of that what you will but I'll restate that I got no horse in the race. I'm using my experience to judge if something seems a good fit to work with, and maybe -- does it have a future.
