> Yeah it is, choose 3. Python 2 is reaching EOL.

Easy to say. Tell that to Google and Dropbox - Guido has worked for both and they're on 2. Tell that to the companies that can't afford the creator of the language.

3 is not the easy choice.

Anyways, maybe try nim? I've heard good things.

"2 or 3" wasn't a choice for Dropbox/Google, and even if it had been, it's not a choice that concerns you. All the stuff they produce publicly is Python 3-compatible.

My point is that tons and tons of companies, with many billions of lines of code, do not have an easy option.

Plenty of the environment still has not moved over even outside of companies.

If you're building something new as the original phrasing implies, choosing 3 is easy. If you need to integrate with 2, then you're in a tougher spot.
