And there's a reason why people are generally not doing web stuff in python or rust.
- __float 5y agopeople aren't doing web stuff in python?? django, flask, etc. are still very popular. maybe not as much as a few years ago, but people tend to stick to tech they know well, and python's web libraries are pretty battle tested at this point.
- mikl 5y agoLots and lots of people do web stuff in Python. There are a whole bunch of Python web frameworks like Django, Pylons, Flask, etc. And there are big sites written in Python, too. Reddit, YouTube, some Google apps, Spotify, Netflix. Rust is still a bit young, but also has several web frameworks like Rocket. No big case studies that I know of, but Rust still has many more fields of applications than PHP does.
- postalrat 5y agoSure, a small minority of sites are partially written in python.
- mikl 5y agoTons of sites are written exclusively in Python. Django alone has 60k stars and 25k forks on Github. That about the same as Laravel.
- postalrat 5y agoA quick search came up with an order of magnitude more sites in laravel than django. And combined are still a small fraction of sites on the internet.
- mikl 5y agoWhichever way you spin it, building web stuff is a perfectly normal thing to do with Python. Thousands of companies do so, even big famous brands like the aforementioned.
