Frankly, Python is just generally 'better' these days.
Maybe not AS 'concise' but more 'readable' AND easier
to understand six months from now. The speed is now
'adequate' and Python-4 is supposed to be even faster.

Where are you getting your information?  There are no plans for
Python 4.

I did.

What is the basis for that claim?  Maybe you're right.  If so, you
shouldn't have any difficulty citing a credible source.

No, I'm asking you to support a remarkable claim that *you* made.
If what you say is true, it would be very interesting and I'd want
to know more about it.

  This is usenet - take what you can get.

You claimed that I could easily verify that there are plans for
Python 4 by searching for it.  I searched for it, and found that
there are no such plans.  Limiting the search to python.org,
where any such plans would surely be posted, yields no results
other than speculation in open discussions (discuss.python.org).
You specifically said to "expect early releases within a year".
The result of my search specifically contradicted your claims.
I found one article misleadingly titled "Latest Update on Python
4.0" that says that "while Python 4.0 may be more of a speculative
idea than a forthcoming reality, the Python community can look
forward to ongoing enhancements within the Python 3.x series".
<https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/python/latest-update-on-python-4/>

If finding this information (to support *your* claim) is so easy,
you shouldn't have any problem providing a credible citation.  Your
failure/refusal to do so tells me that you are an unreliable source
of information, and that you have wasted my time.
