Oh Really?

I call bullshit. Name names. Name projects.

If they are "shopping" for a scripting language, that means they don't 
have one yet. Which means their users have no existing scripts that need 
to be ported from Python 2 to 3. Whatever language is chosen, whether it 
is Ruby, Lua, Python 3 or something else, its all equally as new.
