- gaius 10y agoI'm not sure that logically follows. What %age of Python users actually know the underlying C well enough to make changes to the language? Even the number who know how to write bindings is tiny overall.
- kpil 10y agoI'm fairly sure that most of them would be able to wing it if they had to. C isn't exactly that special. In all events, the percentage of users skilled in software development must be higher than among users of tools not related to software development.
