When will Python 3 be abandoned and development of 2.x resume?

>>57664032
Python 2.x is legacy, Python 3.x is the present and future of the language

>>57664061
python3 has been out for 8 years adoption rate is still 30%

it's time to give up

>>57664074
what number is this 30%? All the major libraries support python 3 and there is no reason to write python 2 code anymore

If only there was a way to expose all the posters who claim that. I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of them doesn't even program or doesn't program anything more important than a Hello World.

>>57664074
You're free to volunteer for Python 2.x maintenance.

The real world where we make money instead of porting niche libs.

>>57664086
>doing anything more complex than hello world (so sdl games or scraping web pages) in python

>>57664061

I HURT MYSELF TODAY.

>>57664032
Too late. The kind of purist who hates Py3 can go to Go.

I guess microsoft will abandon development of windows 10 for 95 and xp

>>57664032

This whole split in the python community is such a shitstorm

Who ever heard of a segment of the programmers just refusing to adopt the latest version

Can you imagine if people were this autistic about Java?

>>57664074

So by now, those who refused to move to python 3 must feel really fucking stupid. If they would have just began using python 3 when ever they could 8 fucking long years ago, we wouldn't have this thread.

Don't make fun of my dreams man. I would kill for a simple win95 like os that supports modern hardware.

C programmers who will not move to C++

>>57664032

is this /g/ meme of the month now?

>>57664175
It's more akin to stop pushing windows 10 and return to windows 7

>>57664074
Well, python 2 will end development in 3 years.

>>57664260

except c is a totally different language with legit uses on embedded platforms

>>57664260

> C++ is C evolution

>>57664323
You can use C++ on bare metal embedded if it's not an 8 bit cpu you just can't easily use STL

>>57664367

also C is such an ancient language, so much is already built up around it. Python is not even comparable to C in this way

also if it's an 8 bit cpu

Topkek found the retard

>>57664032
As someone whom never used Python regularly before, and is now using it daily I can only kek at the 2 vs 3 issue. For a language that prides itself on doing everything the "python" way it is hilarious to see them break backwards compatibility.

Why couldn't they just. Make python 3 backwards compatible?

>>57665227
More like, why couldn't they make it worth being incompatible.
