I meant when 3.0 was released. By the time 2.7 was EOL'd 3.0 had gained enough momentum to be a viable alternative. It was easier to just migrate to 3.0.

In 2018, I don't know if Go was a major player, both it and rust were still new-ish languages. There was still a concern of being able to hire devs if you used them, where as not so much in the past 4-5 years.

~3.8 at the time, not 3.0. 3.0 was a mess.
