Give elixir a shot. I used to use python (though not as much as I used ruby) and I will never go back to python.
- brightball 5y agoTried to learn Python a few years ago. I generally like almost every language I try. I'll even sing you Perl's praises. After learning other languages though, I cannot see the point behind using Python aside from broad adoption. Couldn't imagine choosing it for any problem I needed to solve. I was actually really looking forward to it after hearing for years about how Python would have "one way to do everything" but there's a gazillion different ways just to run Python on your machine, different versions of it to choose from. Should I be running the local system version, PyPy, Stackless, Anaconda, Miniconda? Is PyEnv the weapon of choice for multiple Python codebases or is it one of the many others? The Python 2 vs 3 migration stuff I expected to be a little wonky but all of the stuff on top of it was just weird for a community that had so long been advertised as having agreed on solutions. I did finally get why a lot of experienced developers call it "The Okayest" language.
