> because anything written in 2 wont run as is on 3 Not true. "anything" is too strong of a word. There's plenty of simple code that works fine in both 2 and 3. For basic scripts, it's not hard to make code that is compatible with both, with the only odd thing to do is using parentheses in your print calls. You can even use "from __future__ import print_function" in Python 2 code to get Python 3's print() behavior. > anything using async will need 3.4(?) anything using type hints of f strings needs 3.7( or 8, I get hazy) What's the alternative? Should a language never receive new features?
