You are still talking about whether Armin is right, and whether he
writes well, about flaws in his statistics, etc. I'm talking about the
fact that an organization (Python core development) has a product
(Python 3) that is getting bad press. Popular and vocal customers
(Armin, Kenneth, and others) are unhappy. What is being done to make
them happy? Who is working with them? They are not unique, and their
viewpoints are not outliers.
I'm not talking about the technical details of bytes and Unicode. I'm
talking about making customers happy.
+1 Ned. Quite well said.
And from my lurking here, its quite plain to me that 3.x python has a
problem with everyday dealing with strings. If it is not solved relatively
quickly, then I expect there will be a fork, a 2.8 by those most heavily
invested. Or an exodus to the next "cool" language.
It's not at all plain to me, in fact quite the opposite. Please expand
on these problems for mere mortals such as myself.
