One thing I don't understand here why somebody needs to switch to Python and forget other languages? Sometimes I too hack something fast with Python, but still write lots of Rust and Clojure. Then if I need Python, it is very easy to just write some and get things done.

- sametmax 8y agoThat's a picture for my blog (well actually the related twitter account), which essentially deals with Python and porn. I was not going to make a new screen capture just for HN.
- sametmax 8y agoThat's not how it happens. Unless it's impossible (ex, you target a credit card), you usually starts with Python because, if you know it, that's the easiest option for a POC. Then you look if for this project, it limited you in some way. When it does, you use another tech. E.G, you needed something to consume less RAM, or you target the browser, or you want an small APK, you need multi-core AND cheap memory sharing, whatever... But the thing is, short of some very specific constraints, Python is good enough for a lot of things and so we don't "forget" about other languages, we just end up not needing them more often than not.
