Tomorrow’s Python

Python as a language is over 25 years old, and it’s user base is still growing. This is a feat that only a handful of languages have ever achieved. But the Python of today isn’t the same language that Guido van Rossum announced to the world in 1991 - it had to change in order to remain relevant, and into order to grow into new problem domains.
