I agree in principle that python for web can be slow, but plenty of sites have been able to scale with it (e.g. Reddit, Pinterest, Quora). So I think saying that python is only for projects that aren't going to see much traffic is a very broad and unfair generalisation.
- jaffee 8y agoscalability and speed are two very different beasts. You can build scalable things in Go, or Python, or most any language. At a certain scale though, the amount you'd save in infrastructure bills by using Go instead of Python is absolutely stupid. A 10x difference would not be surprising in the slightest.
