> Let's think of Python 3 as Perl 6 that got done on schedule. That seems silly to me. Guido announced that he'd start working on Python 3000 part time in early spring 2000; that's eight and a half years. Now compare the goals of Python 3 to the goals of Perl 6. Python 3 didn't really change much over Python 2, in comparison. Sure, Python 3 came out a little bit sooner than Perl 6, but it was also a lot less work to produce.
