I was talking about Guido van Rossum

The one who decides, so far when people agree

But we can make a new fork

He is the originator, but now it seems, for me, it is hanging out in
the air

So we need some new leadership

From somebody, somebody like you perhaps. Or me.

seems to be needed

He doesn't seem to care much anyway now

Or if he cares, he have many other assignments

Who are you talking about?

So should we try to elect a new chairman?

Wbr, Andrii Mishkovskyi.

He's got a heart of a little child, and he keeps it in a jar on his desk..



Guido is the BDFL: Benevolent Dictator For Life. He was not elected.
If you want new leadership in Python it won't be done via a vote, it
will be via a coup. You will need to create your own community (and
probably fork of Python) that is superior to the existing version. So
much that people decide to migrate from one to the other.

Any conversation that leads to such a communal fork would probably
begin with discussing things that should be done differently in Python
and garnering support.

Personally, what I like _most_ about python is the community. Guido
played a large part in establishing this community. If you put
together a coherent argument regarding the future of Python people
will listen, including Guido.
