Hey, So I was wondering today what you guys would think about the idea to rename web2py to Web3py, once it reaches a level of maturity that would be able to justify the rename and a reboot.
That would also mean to update the web page and various resources. The reason is simple : It seems that since around 2016 python 3 has seen a major increase in adoption while web2py adoption decreased due to being perceived as python2 only framework, which at the time was certainly true. While it's not true anymore, I think the perception of being a python2 only framework combined with outdated resources doesn't help adoption. While sacrificing the established name is certainly not great, I think the benefits of a reboot with a name change to emphasize the python3 compatibility would far outweigh any drawback. Python2 compatibility that is maintained would however seen as a plus and a major differentiator to other frameworks that dropped python2 support.
