#3This is good:
- Python 2 support officially ends somewhere in 2020
- most popular packages are now compatible with Python 3
- Python 3.7 performs about as well as 2.7 with future release expected to be better
Although it still took way too long, if you consider Python 3.0 was released about 10 years ago.

#4Django also recently dropped python 2. I think it's nice that we're finally seeing support for Python 2 end. We've been in a frustrating middle ground of supporting both for too long now.

The double standard when it comes to Python is mindblowing. No other language could have gotten away with such ridiculous fragmentation and perf regression for such a long period of time.

Perl6 is not as widely used as Python 3. Also it's practically a new language in comparison to Perl5.

They didnt really "get away with it". But as far as Oracle, for example,doing something similar -- yes, open source languages get more of a pass.
Being an open community effort gives you a free-pass to make mistakes because you're methodologically sincere. Decisions are made by, and on behalf of, those who use the systems.
Having proprietary interests means you're methodologically insincere: mostly, you sell decisions for the developer but they are mostly for the company.

Many languages seem to suffer from legacy support. C++ and PHP for example. The double standard might be the only way to avoid this!?
