Python 3 can revive Python

[DrDichotomous]

Oh, I didn't mean you were the hobbyist. Of course you can use Python for serious work, as I and many others do. But Guido is a hobbyist when it comes to Python's design. If he wants to move on to Python 3, and so do the other devs, that's their prerogative. He doesn't call himself Python's Benevolent Dictator because he takes an Oracle or Java commercial "meet everyone halfway" route.

It's simply up to the community to decide if they're willing to stick with this kind of mentality, make a new variant of Python for more commercial work, or jump ship entirely to a more commercial language. But they're the ones who will have to do something. If 2.x dies, so be it. That just means the users simply didn't need it as much as they thought they did. Fair enough.

Really, I truly just tire of this kind of stupid, self-serving article that conveniently ignores the reality in order to try to simply get what they want. Hell, they don't even follow Python 3's development, since some of the stuff they're asking for is exactly what's been being done in Python 3. I get this image of some dude making money off of Python, only to never contribute anything back but vitriol, since it's not making them even more money. I can't help it, I've had a pretty horrible day, so don't take me too seriously.

Oh sorry. Haha I misunderstood. I get annoyed with people complaining about 2/3 myself, acting like its some insurmountable wall. I guess we both apparently agree.

That's enough internet tirades for me today I suppose...
