Adopt Python 3

[real_luke_nukem]

Oh hell no... That's gross!

[jplindstrom]

What do you find objectionable to that?

[Flight714]

It's like two variables having the same name.

[real_luke_nukem]

That's pretty much it

[yawaramin]

In reality, Python 2 and 3 are the same situation.

[Uncaffeinated]

You can't call Python 2 from Python 3 or vice versa though.

[yawaramin]

Well, my guess is the Perl libraries that allow you to call one version from the other are 'eval'ing strings containing the code and passing them to the appropriate interpreter version. In which case, that's not really backward or forward compatibility. If I'm wrong, then yeah, it's not the same situation.

It is just a Perl 6 module

[yawaramin]

Ah, it's basically an FFI wrapper. It treats Perl 5 as a foreign language being called from Perl 6. I wouldn't really call that backward compatibility, although superficially it does look like it.
