I think you may have drifted into an alternate universe. There is no Python 2.8 and nobody has done any hard work on writing it, so I have no idea what point you think you are making. (That's the trouble with snappy one-line answers to serious questions -- they often make no sense to anyone outside of your head.) The OP has done a lot of hard work at writing a Python 2 to Go translator (allegedly -- we haven't actually been shown his project) and assuming it works and done what he says it does, that's valuable. Python 2.7 will be part of the Python ecosystem until at least 2022. Furthermore, adapting an existing Python2 to Go compiler to work with Python3 will be much easier than writing one from scratch. -- Steven D'Aprano http://import-that.dreamwidth.org/ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
