I am slightly surprised about the general take on this I see here. I am definitely no python-hater and would take it a hundred times out of a hundred over, say, javascript, but as a language I feel like it is showing its age in a number of ways, and is becoming a little bloated as it tries to be all things to all people. What keeps me from ditching it is the best-in-class datascience ecosystem. Personally, I would prefer that the direction of travel be that I write less python, but keep the ecosystem. Whereas this project is facilitating writing python in other ecosystems.
- agucova 6y agoHave you tried the Julia language? With relatively performant Python interoperability it seems to fit your needs.
- chrisjharris 6y agoThanks, I have been meaning to check out Julia for some time and I think your comment may have finally spurred me into action.
