DESCRIPTION:A decade from now there's a reasonable chance that Python won't
  be the world's most popular programming language. Many languages eventual
 ly have a successor that inherits large portions of its technical momentum
  and community contributions. With Python turning 35 years old\, the time 
 could be ripe for Python's eventual successor to emerge. How can we help t
 he Python community navigate this risk by embracing change and evolving\, 
 or influencing a potential successor language?\n\nThis talk will cover the
  past\, present\, and future of the Python language's growing edge. We'll 
 learn about where Python began and its early influences. We'll look at sho
 rtcomings in the language\, how the community is trying to overcome them\,
  and opportunities for further improvement. We'll consider the practicalit
 ies of language evolution\, how other languages have made the shift\, and 
 the unique approaches that are possible today (e.g.\, with tooling and AI)
 .\n\nAll levels of experience are welcome!
