Hi everyone,
with the release of the first 3.0 alpha that supports Python 3.11 (aptly
named "alpha 11"), I'm happy to announce that David Woods has been promoted
to a Cython core developer.
David has shown an extraordinary commitment and dedication over the last
years. His first merged commits were already back in 2015, mostly related
to the C++ support. But within the last two years, he voluntarily took over
more and more responsibility for bugs and issues and developed several
major new features for the project. This includes the Walrus operator (PEP
572), cdef dataclasses (modelled after PEP 557), internal "std::move()"
usage in C++ mode or support for Unicode identifiers and module names, all
of which form a major part of the 3.0 feature set. David has more than
deserved a place in the circle of present and prior core devs.
David, thank you for your impressive work on Cython,
and welcome to the core team!
Stefan
