Who's going to work on that, and most importantly bless it as official and unite people? I haven't seen anything from Guido on the criticisms of Python 3 and CPython, like this post and other unicode complexity complaints in Python 3. It seems that a lot of people who like Python because it lets them move fast hit a wall when they encounter main Python developers as moving so slow as to consider it okey to have two major versions of a language competing until 2020.
- sitkack 12y agoThere should be a spec and M versions of the runtime. The batteries should be portable between those versions. I used to split by time evenly between Jython, CPython and PyPy. Now I use PyPy about 80% of the time. But having the spec defined as how CPython and the included libraries operate is detrimental to the language. Python3 could have been a chance to clean up the syntax, define and excellent FFI protocol and split the standard library. Python3 could have been a reference implementation that spread Python to all corners of computation.
