How is that a disaster? What is your criteria for deciding what is, and isn't, a disaster? According to TIOBE, Python's popularity continues to grow: http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html and is in the top five, above PHP and Javascript. Likewise with IEEE Spectrum, that puts Python in the top 5 most popular languages for 2015, above C#, PHP and Javascript. http://spectrum.ieee.org/computing/software/the-2015-top-ten-programming- languages According to CodeEval, Python has *dominated* at #1 for the fourth year in a row: http://blog.codeeval.com/codeevalblog/2015 It continues to capture more of the scientific computing niche: http://www.johndcook.com/blog/2015/07/16/scientific-computing-in-python/ and Python's broader ecosystem continues to grow, with at least six powerful add-ons for speeding up Python: - cython - numba - theano - copperhead - parakeet - blaze and more. The future looks brighter than ever for Python. How it is a disaster? -- Steve -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
