The Python 3 upgrade nightmare was a big mistake. I’m not saying I know the right way, but just because they did it that way doesn’t mean they had to and should have.
- baq 2y agoIt was, but the language as it was in 2 was reaaaaaallly not XXI-century ready. They could ship both interpreters and communicate with RPC for all I care as long as shit still worked. Though to be fair I haven’t written a single line of Python 2 for about 10 years now.
- bmicraft 2y agoIt did break everything, but I'd hardly call it a mistake. Python3 is more popular than its predecessor ever was. It was very painful for many people, yes, but it doesn't seem to have hurt the language much if at all.
