<i>It&#x27;s far more likely that we&#x27;ll adopt Lua as a scripting language before adopting Python3.</i><p>And you&#x27;re welcome to do that.<p>But &quot;we want a language frozen in time forever so we never have to maintain code&quot; -- which seems to be what you&#x27;re aiming for -- is not a goal you can achieve short of developing your own in-house language and never letting it make contact with the public (since as soon as it goes public it will change).<p>Meanwhile, the libraries are moving on and sooner or later they&#x27;ll either move to Python 3, or be replaced by equivalent libraries with active maintenance, and the distros are winding down their support for Python 2. Switching to something else, and probably just rolling an in-house language you can control forever, is likely your only option if this is your genuine technical position.
