Python 3.0 was released in 2008 with the work starting in early 2006 (maybe earlier, going by PEP 3000 which was published in April 2006). Herb Sutter's "The Free Lunch is Over" was first published in 2005. I don't think a year between its publishing and the work on Python 3 beginning qualifies as "years".
