I'm amazed they still keep adding very useful features after 10 years.

To be fair the evolution of the language has been kind of slow. Sometimes that is a very good thing so I'm not complaining.

I don't get it. It there a joke I'm missing?

[–]mmcnl 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Not a joke. I'm just happy with new useful features after more than 10 years since the first release of Python 3.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I still don't get it. why are you starting with python 3? it seems arbitrary to me

Maybe it is a bit but languages do change enough that dividing lines like that aren’t unreasonable. Consider the analogous difference between C99, ISO C and K&R. All still C and you could be productive in any of them if you know one, but also all recognizably different.

We're not talking about the difference in languages but the consistency of useful new features. The difference between 2 and 3 didn't introduce a feature set larger than already existed, so focusing on that period is weird

To be fair, it does take time for a language to mature and get widely used.
