This is potentially pretty big news. While this means that we'll probably see blazingly fast/cool implementations, Python as a laboratory for language innovation is coming to an end.


I don't know of a single language feature which python has innovated.

Python is just a beautiful synthesis of idioms and features which had previously only existed in more esoteric languages.


Features do not a language make. I believe design to be at the core of PL innovation.


In my mind, the synthesis itself is a language feature.
