I'd take the official claims and benchmarks with a huge dose of skepticism. Python is no longer a free software project. The infrastructure is censored and dissent is suppressed ruthlessly.
The entire ecosystem is great at marketing. Critical people like Armin Ronacher have left long ago.
I'd like to see truly independent benchmarks from unbiased or critical outsiders. But in general those do not have any interest in Python.
- maleldil 4y ago> Python is no longer a free software project. The infrastructure is censored and dissent is suppressed ruthlessly. Those are serious allegations. Can you back up these claims?
- UncleEntity 4y agoWalrus operator… I’m kidding of course but that seems like the camel who broke the bridge too far.
- williamtwild 4y agoCan you suggest an alternative? (not perl)
- samhw 4y agoIf you change programming languages based on random comments from loonies on the internet, I don't think you're ever going to stick with a language long enough to implement hello world...
- TillE 4y agoSure it's a highly productive language with an enormous variety of quality libraries available, but uh, some guy on the internet doesn't like the developers or something.
- mrits 4y agoI don't see how you can suggest you have a deep understanding of Python's infrastructure while concurrently not being aware of any unbiased benchmarks from critical outsiders.
