Once again, I don't say Python should not move on, actually, as a CGI "dev" (Technical Director we say) myself, I would LOVE to trash 2.7 and move on. I was just rambling about "most popular packages" which are only

> most popular packages are now compatible with Python 3 I often see this but I think it's a perception from the Internet/web world. I work for CGI, all (I'm not kidding) our softwares (we have many) are 2.7. You will neve

Alembic has been a game changer (efficient geometry cache, thread safe hierarchy access, etc.), OpenEXR has been a major improvement to the industry, OpenSubdiv is very cool but definitely not a game changer.

Z-Buffer had huge bandwidth impact that's true, but you can deal with it depending on you game. A good example is SSB which use Z-Buffer only for characters, all the rest is build from bottom to top. Combine this with the fact it only
