The Python Language Summit 2023¶
This was originally posted on blogger here.
Every year, just before the start of PyCon US, core developers, triagers, and special guests gather for the Python Language Summit: an all-day event of talks where the future direction of Python is discussed. The Language Summit 2023 included three back-to-back talks on the C API, an update on work towards making the Global Interpreter Lock optional, and a discussion on how to tackle burnout in the community.
This year’s summit received around 45 attendees, and the summit was covered by Alex Waygood.
