IIRC CPython devs reject performance-related patches if they cause the code to become "less readable".

I just gave up on Mercurial since it didn't let me push to BitBucket nor to an Ubuntu VPS via SSH.

For better or worse, Git just works.

I'm confused, since my daily workflow is pushing to Bitbucket via hg and ssh.

Imagine my confusion back then.

I could push fine to BitBucket if I used Python 2 version locally, and same for my VPS if I used the Python 2 version both locally and remotely.

But as soon as I touched the Python 3 version of Mercurial the pull/push problems began. I don't recall the exact error and maybe it's fixed now (this happened like 6 months ago), but I don't think I'll give it another try for some time.

My work is considering switching to Git mostly because we think adopting Bitbucket will force us to. Is that not true? I'd love some reasons to stay with hg...

Bitbucket was originally for hg though. Why would switching to git be better?
