I love Python, and use it often. It's huge in many industries due to the ease in which people from various backgrounds can learn it. However, I agree whole heartedly with the article. Python does not scale, performs poorly and is unreliable at run time. I think this is true for many second generation languages, not just Python. Perl, Ruby and JavaScript are really no different. None of these languages were designed to scale, be cloud oriented and perform close to C. Thus, many developers complain of 'hitting the wall' and try other languages because their tools were not intended nor designed to do these things. I also think Go (and languages like it) which were designed to scale, use the cloud, be safe and fast (performance close to C) are the solution and the future. Here's a quote from Ian Lance Taylor, "Go was deliberately built from the start to support large scale programs implemented by hundreds or thousands of different programmers. Those kinds of programs are written at Google, and Go was designed to be used to write programs at Google."
