You left out Python 3. That lack of a clear transition from Python 2 didn’t help. Despite that, I still think it’s great, but it made it multiple times more difficult for a newbie to get setup.
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoI've not done Python outside playing around really early on in my career during an internship, but I've never felt attracted to it; the 2 vs 3 debacle, installing the odd tool is like "what" (yeah just do `pip install this`, but first you need to install pip by using `easy_install`), and I've heard dependency management and environment setup is still quite backwards. It needs a big ecosystem and tooling overhaul for me to be interested. ATM I'm doing Go, which seems to have gotten the tooling part right at least.
- ForHackernews 6y agoThe Python dependency/environment management situation is slowly improving. Poetry is quite good, IMO: https://python-poetry.org/ https://python-poetry.org/
- rozab 6y agoPython dependency management is the dragon-tyrant, and Poetry slayed it. And now we all wonder why it wasn't done years ago.
