What PHP learned from Python

In 2015, the PHP project released version 7.0 of the PHP language. Doing so was the culmination of several years of discussion and hard work to resolve what a new major version would look like, what would be included, and most importantly, what would be broken for existing users.
In the end, PHP 7 was released with almost no backward compatibility breaks for well written, modern PHP 5 code. As a result, uptake of PHP 7 after two and a half years has been — depending on which source you use and how you measure it — between 33% and 67%.
The PHP project had a significant advantage, though: other languages had been through the same thing before. In particular, an example that was repeatedly used and examined was the transition that was still taking place from Python 2 to 3.
In this talk, I'll discuss the insights that were gleaned from observing that process (mostly) from the outside looking in, and how that was reflected in the uptake curve of Python 3.
A Python conference north of the Golden Gate
North Bay Python is a single-track conference with a carefully curated set of talks representing the diverse Python community and their different areas of interest.
If a topic is less to your interest, or you've met some people you really want to sit down and chat with, we'll have plenty of areas away from the main theatre to catch up and chat.
Our goal is to keep prices as low as possible. That means we won't be catering lunch. Instead, you can look forward to extra-long lunch breaks you can use to explore all of the great food options around the venue.
