I have used Python as my main language since the late 90s and it has been over the last decade and half been getting more unserious.

It would be nice if cpython opened up a bit, pluggable GC and JIT would go along way towards reducing this manufactured drama.

It wasn't cool to see PyPy or Stackless getting sidelined.

In the phrase "murder drones", murder describes the the drone itself. It doesn't make a qualitative statement about the murder itself. A murder drone is a type of drone that operates autonomously, without an active operator, like an autonomous landmine. You have over indexed on the word.
