You missed a whole subclass of people. Those that don&#x27;t like Python3. Personally I believe Python3 took a wrong turn with the approach of converting everything to UTF-32 and making a big deal about the philosophical difference between &quot;strings&quot; and &quot;bytes&quot;. I very much suspect the future will be something like how Julia deals with the issue, where UTF-8 can be just left as UTF-8.
