Agreed. I still haven’t really started using the ‘match’ statement and structural pattern matching (which I would love to use) since I still have to support Python 3.8 and 3.9. I was getting tired of thinking, “gee this new feature will be nice to use in 4 years, if I remember to…”

After this month, Python 3.8 will be end-of-life, so maybe you can push internally to upgrade python.
