I'm skeptical of the data backing the language popularity chart because there is no mention of Python. It seems unlikely that Python devs never come into the IRC support channel. Ranked by general usage rather than by number of support requests, I might guess that Python would be ranked similarly to Ruby.
- mastazi 11y agoI found that very strange too.
- matthewarkin 11y agoYeah, to my recollection I can't recall a single person joining the irc room with a python code base, I can't really say why or why not, but it should be noted that it is popularity in terms of support, not in terms of api requests. The naive interpretation would be that people using stripe with a python codebase in general need less technical support with the integration.
- cperciva 11y agoMy logs have quite a few people talking about using python, but most of them are in 2013. Shifting demographics, perhaps?
- metafunctor 11y agoWe have a Python codebase, it just wasn't relevant to the couple of questions I've asked on #stripe, so didn't even mention it. The Stripe Python library + Stripe's API docs are pretty good, and never really had any issues on that level.
- rhubarbquid 11y agoI've been doing contract work for a company that uses Python and Stripe, so I found that surprising too.
