There actually are separate Python ecosystems (applications embedding Python or relatively detached distributions like Anaconda). Similarly you don't really care about e.g. the larger Lua ecosystem when you are targeting a specific application using Lua. It has its own ecosystem.
- sam0x17 8y agoThat's my point though. Unless the primary language developers themselves say "Hey, this ecosystem is broken" and then make an alternate one, we are generally stuck with the old broken one being the de facto standard. And even in that scenario you have to make the choice between breaking compatibility with everything that relies on the old ecosystem, or supporting both new and old at the same time. The lesson to be learned here is you only really get one shot at doing the ecosystem the right way, so do it right the first time. Hence Crystal/Go/Rust/Nim/etc
