That you can incrementally build performance-critical parts of your system in other languages is a huge success story for Python. I don't understand in what world you can view that as a negative.
If you were NOT able to do that, that would have actually been a reason to not build your app in Python.
- jerf 5y ago"That you can incrementally build performance-critical parts of your system in other languages is a huge success story for Python." Even 5-10 years ago, that's not a "huge success story"; that's table stakes for any serious language.
- alex_smart 5y agoSure, but that is the feature that enables people to build apps in slow, interpreted languages like Python in the first place. The parent comment had somehow made it sound like that was a negative. I did not mean "huge win" as in it is something unique to Python. I meant it in the sense that it greatly adds to the value proposition of the language.
