Which is one of the reasons I think it's a sign towards acceleration. People are developing strategies to deal with language evolution. This, "import from __future__", and gofmt are all tooling that helps you deal with a language that's still willing to evolve.

That said, I don't think this part of the python3 effort entirely succeeded. Unfortunately they share a package source, so a lot of projects do need to support both. But whatever failings there have been in the python jump to 3.0, they're nothing compared to the disaster that was ruby 1.9, even though I think 1.8.7 is truly relegated to legacy now.

As long as they learn from those issues, though, I think the future is bright for non-stagnating languages.
