People complain on external corporate capture e.g. Microsoft’s embrace, extend, extinguish but I see a more common pattern of introducing internal corporate complexity driving socially powered projects to oblivion. Drupal’s extension system a few years back, Firefox addon ecosystem destruction, Python features after 3.8 and many others.
People that contribute are not infinite and those initial more active contributors get demoralized supporting work over a moving foundation.
Why not put up an effort on speeding things up, removing the GIL. Important and stale issues of the language that users really care about. F strings where good tho. That’s it. Async syntax? Less good. This pattern matching thing? Have fun debugging this.
