No one expected them to do a bad job, but there is nothing really new
or interesting or challenging. Micro-optimizations and shape lifting.
Even a small discussion about the frictions of pattern matching and OO
with Martin Odersky, one of the creators of the Scala language, is more
inspiring than reading the whole Py3K stuff. I decided not to attend to
EuroPython this year...
