the problem with Python where I work is that developers are openly hostile toward it. We're predominantly .NET with just a couple of products running on Linux servers. I'm not a .net guy despite the pressure, and have been teaching myself python in my own time, but the the rest of the staff including management are never going to look for Python as a skill when hiring. EVER. But of course 2.7 is sitting there on the CentOS servers never used, while bash scripted cron jobs run amok and frequently fail (because they were written by the wrong people imo).
I would love to see Python utilized, and maybe with VSCode and MS integrating open source into the .NET world it will eventually come to enterprise (where I work).
- therealmarv 9y agoIt's already there in the big Visual Studio: https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/python/ https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/python/ And it's a dream in VSCode + the most popular python extension https://github.com/DonJayamanne/pythonVSCode https://github.com/DonJayamanne/pythonVSCode
- kagamine 9y agoit's not about what MS put in VS and VSCode, it's about changing the minds of .NET developers who used are to C# syntax/grammar and hate Python because it doesn't fit their world-view. "Already in VS" is meaningless in a .NET enterprise company.
- therealmarv 9y agoI feel sorry for you. Fanatism towards any language/eco-system, no matter if .net, Java, Ruby, Python (also have seen the same with Python developers) is something I really don't like.
