I think a fairer interpretation of the situation is "Well, we have to rewrite and test all this code anyway, so the barrier to picking another language to go forward with is quite low right now."
- the_watcher 7y agoThat's a corollary to this, for sure, particularly if there's another language that would be more appropriate. That said, the OP seemed to be moving on primarily out of annoyance. Assuming that's the case and Python is the best language for the project (keeping in mind things like "I can hire the same quality people who WANT to work in this language), I stand by my (still slightly tongue in cheek) position.
- protomyth 7y agoA question comes to my mind on the desires of developers to work on Python projects. Would it be fair to say Rust or Go might have more desirability these days? The WANT question makes me think this is a bit more than simple annoyance but provides an excuse to travel to greener pastures.
