Background? I don't want to dig for why he was having issues

I've already got enough karma on hackernews discussing this
Jace Morris
Like almost always when you add things afterwards. Meh, still better than Pythons overall semantics. Still better than PHP backslash namespaces.

Python is a shitty language. Reddit tier garbage.
Michael Kelly
Reads like a suicide note. Guido is clearly extremely burnt out and probably really depressed.
Michael Thomas
Someone wanted that stuff in and he didnt, I think.
>But why, user?
Who cares, most language design isn't done rational anyway.
Jason Smith
Either this or it's an I-have-cancer note.

So Python is dead now? What does everyone move to?
>most businesses are still on 2.7
>incompatible changes between 3.* versions, meaning no clear upgrade path
>horrid syntax added, bloated core language growing
What will they inevitably switch to in the coming decades? What will Jow Forums use?
Isaac Cruz
Fucking this, it sounds more like a subtle announcement that he has some terminal disease and doesn't want to deal with all the python community drama any more
Brandon Reed
Just like everybody moved out of Javascript when Typescript/Dart/Kotlin took its place? Riiiiight
Python still works. I don't think they'll create a new leadership so fucked up to kill the language.

Also, your post reminded me of this post, A protocol for Dying, by the zeromq author:

what the fuck are you, a language aesthetician? fuck off to /fa/
Jason Murphy
Aesthetics are important. That said, I don't think the assignment syntax looks too bad.
Jacob Ramirez
>Aesthetics are important.
This. After all most Python fren did not bother looking at semantics.

/g love RUST.

\g\ is bizarro Jow Forums.

That's some meme loving dramaqueen post right here.
Don't you have some big brother or whatever episode pending for your approval?

Most businesses moved to Python 3 ages ago, most of the people still using Python 2.7 are neckbeards who use some obscure module that hasn't been updated since 2006
Isaac Foster
What is |g|, then?
Isaac Long
Absolute shit
Anthony Rogers
A modulus.
Isaiah Bennett
>Background?
Justin Rodriguez
That's not totally different from normal Jow Forums, then.
Lucas Wilson
Finally they can euthanize python 3. Python 3 was mistake. Remove it from the premises.

Or Fabric.
Gavin Hernandez
There is Fabric for Python 3.4
Jonathan Taylor
Oh, that's cool. I didn't know they've already released v2.0.
Henry Campbell
Being the BDFL of Python is a terminal disease.
