> Not only is Python not dying, but it's stronger than it's ever been. Yeah, I've followed Python since about 2000. For the next 5yrs there was steady growth as it displaced Perl. But it was looking quite shaky/vulnerable around 7-10yrs ago when Rails was growing fast with lots of hype. Around that time publishers almost stopped writing any Python books at all. Look at it now though - Python is probably in the top three most popular languages for programming books at the moment. I've never noticed so much Python stuff around before. Now that I'm moving to a more Ruby focussed devops job, I've had a look around for new modern Ruby books and I've noticed they've almost dried up completely.
