Not in my sphere of activity. I have a friend who recently started his PhD... and is moving all of his development from C/C++/Fortran to Python. Numerical code even - he just doesn't want to bother.
- happywolf 11y agoCiting this example isn't very convincing. Would be more interesting to know what language he uses when he finishes his Ph.D.
- chm 11y agoWell, I also have two other colleagues who started using it some months ago to parse data. They don't know about Go or Julia. I think the "wow" factor of Python might be lower than it used to be, but it's not considered dead, at least not in science. Does that reflect the broader reality? I don't know :)
