@ThePSF I just watched the documentary, it was super nice to have this trip down memory lane. (Even tough I was a bit late to the game when i started using python 1.5.2),
Such a great bunch of kind and loving people in this community, it is very inspiring.
I remember Guido stepping down, what a shock, I cannot help feeling that there should have been as much debate about async/await as the walrus operator 🙂
@jacob Well, you certainly have done a great more than most in tech. Thank you for your contributions.
About next steps: My personal recommendation would be to buy a horse and go riding as often as you can, it can counterweight some of all the time spent in your brain, with some time in your body 🙂
Best of luck
ROFL!

The Onion, the satirical news company that repeatedly spoofed conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, has won the bankruptcy auction for control over his media empire — most notably Infowars, the far-right, conspiracy-minded website that served as Jones’ primary online platform.
100% agree with you, and would like to add a couple of observations:
1. Adding async/await to Python is in my book a much bigger change han 2->3, you have to re-write everything since no code can be reused. I cannot believe it went through the SC so easy. (When the crazy walrus discussion made Guido step down)
2. Someone proposed calling it “Multicore Python” instead of nogil, I think that is a great proposal 🙂
It is beyond me why Multicore Python (PEP 703) is not already accepted
