Out of those Pythons the only one that's widely used in production, and it's been around for a long time. Python itself is an extremely simple language, which I think can work as one person passion project.
Modern python has grown significantly from its first release in the 90s though. I don't think that can happen today, we all want too much out of our programming languages.
- lgessler 6y agoI can't speak to the others on the list but it seems odd to say Clojure isn't being used widely in production. Clojure's been powering big businesses for years now and Nubank, which primarily uses Clojure, is valued at $24bn: https://www.pymnts.com/news/investment-tracker/2021/brazilian-fintech-nubank-raises-400-million-in-series-g/#:~:text=Nubank's%20total%20funding%20to%20date,billion%20in%202019%2C%20TechCrunch%20reported https://www.pymnts.com/news/investment-tracker/2021/brazilia....

- pansa2 6y ago> Python itself is an extremely simple language Unfortunately that’s not true at all - Python is far from simple. Sure, it’s no C++, but it’s very complex compared to languages like C, Go, Lua, even JavaScript.
- throwaway894345 6y agoPython also has active sponsorship. Guido and the mypy folks were employed at Dropbox for the express purpose of working on Python last I checked, and even then my biggest grievance with Python is that the big hairy problems (performance, package management) still never get solved.
