Yeah, I'm not a full-time developer but even for my bits of scripting I'd be wary of another big change in Python. Personally I'd much rather see this effort go towards a new language which "feels" like Python but adopts more of the development experience of Go and Rust. From my tinkering it seems like Nim might already be that language, in which case what is needed is investment in its package ecosystem.

Is this supposed to be some kind of joke? The problem with Python 2 to python 3 is that python 3 was essentially a new python 2 esque language instead of just being a major version bump. If python 4 was no GIL python, then both Python and C would remain unchanged as a language.
