Python creator says no to 2.8; time for Python 3
- dekhn 12y agoGood bye Python! The only transition handled with less skill was Perl 6.
- a3n 12y agoI'm still programming happily in 2.7, it's (obviously) more than viable. Increasing numbers of people are programming happily in 3.X. People are getting real work done in both languages. Is this really a problem for more than a handful of unfortunate niche-dwellers? Can a niche-dweller comment?
- SEMW 12y agoMildly alarmist. Yes, there isn't going to be a 2.8, but on the other hand 2.7's being supported until 2020.[1] So it's not like you're going to be unsupported if you don't transition in the next 10 seconds.
