I know companies with a big Python 2 stack that rather preferred to rewrite in typescript than migrate to Python 3

I turned down one of those companies because I didn’t want to deal with that migration in 2021

I will never forget Mercurial's postmortem on their experience with the Python 3 transition. They had very few kind words to say about the process.

Part of me even wonders if the transition had any role to play in why Mercurial gradually lost whatever foothold it had in the DVCS ecosystem.

		Very interesting article. I too was rather upset about the Python 2->3 shenanigans and I was working on much smaller projects.
