So Python is being fundamentally changed for everyone because of the needs of a niche subset of Python programmers (AI researchers), because that niche subset refuses to learn a language more suited to their task?

Ugh, don't - we're convincing the legions of data scientists to move _away_ from the specialist languages (Matlab, R), because at least in Python, the code they publish with their papers is more repeatable/reproducible/reusable, and is a free language [that doesn't require a license server and/or paid plugins], and then we can plug their Torch model / numpy based computer vision algorithm into a Celery worker or a Flask endpoint :-)
