We know that there are issues with the Python echosystem at large [1]. Google is heavily invested in Python 2, and thus created Grumpy [2], which is a new Python 2 runtime, in Golang. A company like Google, stepping in, will inevitable lead to the sorting out of many of the issues [1], and introduce new developments for Python 2. The Golang backend of Python will enable the development of many benefits we see in Golang (built in concurrency?, speed?, easy package management?) This would mean that the community will gravitate towards python 2. What do you think?

[1] * Fragmentation of package managers: Pip, Conda, etc.. * Fragmentation of runtime: Pypy, CPython, Jython, Cython, etc.. * Golang (and probably Grumpy in the future) doesn't suffer from these issues, because a central entity (Google) is leading it.

I just had an idea. What if there existed %50 of the cars that exist in US today, but they were freely available for everyone. What's the catch? You have to pick up people on the way to where you are going. There will be a cloud system that similar to Uber, where people input where they need to go. If they see a car standing, they can just start driving it. If there's someone who needs picking up on the way, they do it. Each person will have a card they scan when the get in the car or drive it. This way you identify cheaters (those who didn't pick up appropriately). What do you think?
