> What will we have in 20 years?

Whatever it is, I sincerely hope that it is not driven by Python, and instead we have a more accessible language.

Say what you will about Python, but it is a total pain in the arse to work with. The 2.x legacy still casts a long shadow (in terms of online guides, unmaintained libs etc), anaconda, pip, easy install, strings/unicode, type hints (or not), unreadable & unmaintainable list comprehensions etc etc etc. What a dumpster fire, and a truly hateful language.

Here is hoping that some other language takes over. I have my personal take, but I won't let that ruin the rant :)
