Part of that might be the ever-growing complexity of Python3, which is accruing features that cannot be implemented simply, thereby complicating maintenance of minority implementations such as Jython and IronPython. I greatly admire the tasteful engineering that I see in the choices that Guido van Rossum made in earlier releases. For example, an operating system that supports multi-tasking well relieves the need for multi-threading. For more straightforward scripting engine uses, there's always Lua, though the fork of Lua done to implement a JIT <http://luajit.org> trails the main implementation <https://www.lua.org>. There is an interesting offshoot of the language that is aimed at systems programming <https://nelua.io>. Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm wandering far afield, sorry for trespassing. I'll come quietly, officer! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
