I like Python, I use it daily, but in 10 years, it will be what Perl is today. If Rust had all the libraries that Python has today, I would have completely switched to Rust. So, we have Go and Rust growing rapidly and being well accepted and loved, so, not hard to imagine 10 years from now! I'm sure PyPy and other alternative implementations would be leading the parade at that time and possibly will take the language in a different direction adding incompatible feature to utilize best their specific platform and be competitive - similarly to what HHVM is to PHP. Life's moving at a faster pace now, every product has embraced the rapid release cycle, and Python seems too slow to evolve. Even Java, which was notorious for its slow pace, is quite different today! 10 years, really? Nobody has this patience! Life is too short anyway.
