What is the future of Python2 and Python3? I really hate having

Python4, you'll need rewrite all your shit and buy new books.

I wish I could ditch Python all together, but it's impossible now.

python grew too much i hope we can see it exploding soon and become irrelevant like other garbage languages like perl

>>59612333
Until there's a credible replacement, it's just going to lumber on.

I do a lot of R programming and I hate Python because of this fact. I'm thinking about switching to Julia.

>Julia started like Python by being used mostly in the sciences
> Julia is a general purpose language.
> Julia feels modern af
> Julia is not OOP

>>59612333
Don't talk about Perl like that. Please ;_;

Maintaining or running?

I hope Python 2 will die.

Anyhow, you should always use parentheses with print.

You can't port? How big is your Python 2 codebase?

>>59612614
The problem isn't porting, it's backporting.

What's the point of investing time in Python2

>>59612628
If you're maintaining an older project.

Are the two different versions of Python going to kill Python? It makes everything that much more frustrating.

why the fuck are there still a million programming languages? we only need like 3

>>59612710
C
Scheme
Python

this is what happens when basement neckbeards are in charge of a project

python is cancer and should be abandoned.

What's so bad about it?
What should I program in that I can quickly prototype and with huge community support?

some prof at Stanford disagrees

>>59613354
something that hasn't broken backwards compatibility and split the language in 2, take your pick

>>59613354
use Python 3. Even if you believe the community has been "split in 2", either half still bigger than most other languages. If you have to deal with Python 2 it isn't that different.

>>59613711
I'm thinking Julia because it's a gen purpose language.
It started similar to Python.

Python 2 is EOL in 2020
