I really wish some python company invested money into making python 3.8+ compatible pypy, and running more tests on libraries for compatibility fixes. We could all use faster code.
- pjmlp 6y agoAgreed, otherwise there is always Julia or a Common Lisp to choose from, and they can easily have bindings for the same C++ and Fortran libraries.
- scns 6y agoHm, why do i think it is funny you recommend Julia and CL in a thread about PyPy, while preferring Java to Clojure, Kotlin and Scala?
- pjmlp 6y agoBecause 30+ years of experience have taught me to only use platform languages for production code. Clojure, Kotlin and Scala are guests with temporary permit until the landlord acquires all features that matter to the masses, then they will join Beanshell and friends. Julia and Common Lisp are the landlords of their own stacks. As for the feature of the language themselves, I always considered myself polyglot, using the platform languages for each kind of deployment scenario.
- galfarragem 6y agoAnd typescript? Is it better to stay away also?
- pjmlp 6y agoI only use Typescript where it is the platform, e.g. Angular. With other Web frontend frameworks, I use straight JavaScript, and direct HTML tags without any build tool. Also if I am responsible for the whole stack, I use the JavaScript minifiers from the SSR frameworks like JEE and ASP.NET.
- mdaniel 6y agoIs that something PyPy would even accept patches for, or they haven't done it because it doesn't interest them? I would hate for someone to do all that work only to end up with a fork
