- Grue3 10y agoThe language was probably Go. Can't really see anyone pushing Python as brand new thing these days.
- realharo 10y agoI can quite easily picture a situation where someone misunderstands an article claiming that a technology is "modern", or there is "a new wave" of usage, or simply talking about a new version, etc. Especially since the Python community likes hyping up the language at every opportunity (the same is also true for many other languages/technologies).
- WorldMaker 10y agoThe events in question could have happened in the past. TDWTF sometimes has a queue of stories that take a while to get edited. Additionally, some stories likely only get submitted after fear of NDAs expire and new jobs are acquired by the submitter. (Even scrubbing details from the posts, there's no reason for a submitter not to CYA to the full extent possible.)
- dozzie 10y agoNo. Angular wasn't even started when Python was considered a new shiny thing.
- WorldMaker 10y agoOr it could be that Angular is the anachronism in the post. I'm not sure it matters how exact the technology timeline lines up so long as the article gets its point across.
- JustSomeNobody 10y agoUnless I'm mistaken, the only person I read saying Python was new was the clueless CTO.
