2011 Python Language Summit report

Brian Curtin has posted a summary of the 2011 Python Language Summit, held on March 10. There is a lot of information on where the language can be expected to go. "With the start of development on CPython 3.3, the moratorium on language changes has been lifted. While the flood gates are open, language changes are expected to be conservative while we try to slow the rate of change and continue to allow alternative implementations to catch up. Although no one caught up to the 3.x line thanks to the moratorium, PyPy and IronPython recently reached 2.7 compatibility, and IronPython is beginning down the road to 3.x." This summary is one of the inaugural posts on the new "Python Insider" weblog.
