How Python has changed from the perspective of the Brood X Cicadas

What's this blog post about?

Python has undergone significant changes since the last emergence of Brood X Cicadas in 2004, including the introduction of a standard Set datatype, Boolean type, extended slices, and improved file I/O. Newer features like pip, web development frameworks such as Django and Flask, and asyncio have made Python more user-friendly and efficient for developers. The language has also become more streamlined with tools like requests and virtual environments. As the cicadas reemerge in 2038, they will likely find a vastly different landscape of technical possibilities to explore.
