Hello again, Many FOSS communities struggle with sustainability, but Python is very rich so you've clearly figured it out. It is easy to say that bug metrics are going in the wrong direction. It is also easy to do nothing, or to criticize those who are concerned about a systemic issue. Data can be turned into action by leadership and plans. It can be helpful to have people who think 5,000 is a big number. (Automatically closing old issues doesn't take grit and isn't a valid solution.) It seems you could use at least 10 more dedicated devs who focus on the official CPython bug count. As for WebAssembly, if their security is done mostly via their virtual machine, then they won't be able to separate it. However, if Python in the browser can't enable optional access Numpy, etc., then it will be missing the best reasons to use it. Sometimes security can destroy utility. Just because there are some untrustworthy websites doesn't mean all must be. Warm regards, -Keith
