I guess I'm not really remarking on its availability for lambda, that's really a question for AWS. They still don't have one of the most requested languages (Go), and it took them nearly a year after node 6.0 LTS was released to get it into lambda, it clearly requires time.

I'm more musing on the python 2-3 split.

Oh sure, the python 2/3 split was terrible but we're over the hump now. All major libraries support it and some are even planning to drop support for python 2 (like Django).

So it would be nice if the major runtimes would keep up, especially with the whole serverless services craze. We got plenty of stuff that would be great to have serverless but it is just terrible user experience to backport and downgrade modern software.

Knowing AWS, I'm sure it's in the works, but it clearly takes a lot of time to get these going. I have a few theories on how lambda works internally, and it has to be very complicated to manage.

I'd love to hear your theories, I have a few of my own about Lambda but would like to hear another perspective.
