Here we go again, but the point of editions, as far as I can tell, is so that there are no breaking changes. A value Go also holds. As a result, both projects are still at version 1 and will likely always forever be at version 1.

So, if we round back to the start of our discussion, if Python 2 had taken the same stance, there would never be a Python 3. What we know of as Python 3 today would just be another Python 2 point release. Which is what the earlier commenter that started all this was saying – Go will not move to Go 2, and Rust won't move to Rust 2, because nobody wants to make the same mistake Python did.

I understand you have an advertising quota to fill, but introducing Rust into the discussion was conversationally pointless.
