   Oh hey, :python: 3.7 is around the corner! :woah:

   Apparently it comes with neat performance optimizations (like https://bugs.python.org/issue28638), data classes, which are a nice way to write classes with data (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0557), a "development mode" with helpful logs, especially for async (https://docs.python.org/3.7/using/cmdline.html#id5), an UTF-8 mode that further enforces the encoding (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0540), and hash-based deterministic pyc (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0552).

     The performance improvements are a big deal, BTW!

     Here's a list of fixed tickets so far: https://bugs.python.org/issue?%40search_text=&ignore=file%3Acontent&title=&%40columns=title&id=&%40columns=id&stage=&creation=&creator=&activity=&%40columns=activity&%40sort=activity&actor=&nosy=&type=7&components=&versions=21&dependencies=&assignee=&keywords=&priority=&status=&%40columns=status&resolution=3&nosy_count=&message_count=&%40group=&%40pagesize=50&%40startwith=0&%40sortdir=on&%40action=search

     OK, not THAT big when compared to 3.6, and Python is still definitely one of the slowest langs out there. But it's definitely doing better than 2.7 (which is usually considered to be faster than 3.x)
