Google replacing python with Go?
- Daishiman 8y agoThat has little to do with Python 3 and a lot to do with the scale of Google's services where high performance is really important and where refactoring in static languages is easier.
- joshuamorton 8y agoThis also isn't really true. Google is certainly replacing certain things with Go. But its not replacing python with go.
- webmaven 8y agoI understand that had more to do with their "Unladen Swallow"[0] work being rejected than anything related to the transition to Python3. Since Google couldn't convince folks to let them make Python faster, they created a NEW language instead. [0] https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3146/ https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3146/
