I think there is turmoil ahead for Python.

In hindsight, they made a mistake to break compatibility in 3.0, yet 
didn't take the opportunity to fix the global interpreter lock that 
keeps Python from doing multithreading very well. Does not bode well.

-kb, the Kent who is learning Rust, a language that does multithreading 
well.
