I know it's clickbait and all, but I can't really let their comments about "decay" go without saying anything.
I spent a weekend updating a Python project after updating the OS. Fuck Python's release methodology.
Yeah, Rust has a lot of releases, but they're all backwards compatible. I'm pretty sure a modern Rust compiler can compile any historic Rust program. Meanwhile every "minor" Python release has backwards incompatible changes and there's no guarantee of backwards compatibility at all. And that's without even bringing up the big major bump from 2 to 3 which... Was not handled well.
Honestly, if there's any language that people should be angry at for "decaying", it should be Python. Hell, even C and C++ have got this right.
That honestly makes me curious, what issues have you encountered when upgrading your python(3) version?

They removed a flag that didn't do anything any more. It also didn't hurt anybody, but since they removed it, my JavaScript project doesn't build on Python 3.11 and needs Python 3.10. I can't upgrade the version of node-gyp, because it's a transitive dependency of another package I can't upgrade.
That's interesting, thanks for the reply
