Python regularly receives updates and new features. Python developers focus on releasing improvements for existing functionalities like type hinting, concurrent processing, and inlining. The team also strives to boost the language’s overall performance. At the same time, Python’s creators don’t plan on releasing Python 4 or making major changes to the language, as doing so can introduce version compatibility issues. This means that currently there’s no risk in using Python for long-lasting projects: the language will get new features and performance improvements, and it won’t turn into a legacy tool any time soon.
