So what would the alternative history have been if CPython was retired after Python 3 came out in 2008, what would we be using now? IronPython or GraalPy?

- kevin_thibedeau 2y agoIt would have suffered the same fate as Perl 6 and we'd all be on 2.1x.
- throwaway81523 2y agoPyPy was a thing and it could have been the basis of Python 3. In fact people DID keep using Python 2 long after Python 3 came out, even though Python 3 used CPython. So they may have gone for much bigger wins. Perl 6 was another matter since it changed the Perl language drastically.
