  If you have access to f-strings then you have had to change quite a few things that are mutually incompatible between 2.x and 3.x. Perhaps you feel like your Python 3 code (which requires at least 3.6) is "basically still 2.7" because you aren't using things like type annotations (and actual tooling to check them), or the walrus operator, or the match statement. But all of these things are entirely optional, and plenty of people feel that they're actually un-Pythonic.

    > you have had to change quite a few things that are mutually incompatible between 2.x and 3.x I made those changes while still targeting 2.7: around 2018 I was writing code for 2.7 that was forward-compatible with 3.x, as was common at the time. Since then, f-strings have been worth adding to my toolbox - most of Python 3's other new features haven't been.
