- kenhwang 6y agoGuido also worked at Dropbox from 2013-19. Python's shortcomings probably can't be attributed to its lead struggling to pay rent.
- carlsborg 6y agoPython competes with dot Net which is strategic to the Windows platform.
- pjmlp 6y agoOnly if we are talking about learning to program or OS scripting. ML, .NET can easily bind to the same C, C++ and Fortran used by "Python" libraries. Web development, yeah as long as one doesn't get thousands of requests per second stressing the poor CPython interpreter. Desktop? WinRT binding are still embryonic, and there is hardly anything comparable to Forms, WPF.
- carlsborg 6y agoData science. Python dominates. You would embraced and extends python to fit into your strategic platform if you wanted to grow in that space.
- pjmlp 6y agoCUDA, C++ and Fortran dominate, not Python Any language can glue to those libraries, including R and Mathematica, and anything with a proper FFI.
- carlsborg 6y ago> CUDA, C++ and Fortran dominate, not Python This claim is hard to defend. Search job sites for data science and $LANGUAGE, for example on indeed python is about 3x of all of those combined.
