God yes. I wish the CPython people would just capitulate and throw themselves behind it.

  Because who cares of existing, running, legacy code, right?

    Do you mean the people who haven't upgraded from Python 2.7 to Python 3?
    • buster 13y ago
      The people who haven't upgraded to Python 3 in their projects are probably mostly people with dependencies on py2.7 libraries. Happened to me in my last project. I started using pypy until some bug in pypy prevented me from using an important package. Switched to python 3 until some other dependency wasn't available. So it's a pity, but i was more or less forced to use py2.7 (without putting major effort into 3rd party libraries).

        And you did put at least the same amount of effort as to write this comment to report the bug to pypy devs and/or library devs right?

          How often do people do that for CPython?
          • fijal 13y ago
            Less often because CPython characteristics are well known and there is no baseline to compare to.

  Why does this have to be so political? Why does it matter to you if CPython continues to exist, just use PyPy if you want to?
