I love that C++ developers only want to work with C++ and Python, while nearly everyone else is doing web stuff.

  1. It's a combination that hits the sweet spot for the "alternate hard and soft layers" architecture. 2. Python is quick to write for scripts, one-offs, and things that don't need to the performance of C++. 3. The ecosystem is fairly stable and low-drama. (Speaking as one of those C++ and Python devs.)

  This is hilarious because that's literally me. I use C++ professionally and where it's appropriate for hobby stuff, and Python for nearly everything else. Ok I also use C# for the parts of game development where Python is too slow / not well integrated, but C++ would be overkill. But web dev? No way. Trendy new languages? Meh.

  Same here, I just want to get work done and they both meet my needs for performant stuff and web stuff. I hear a lot of noise about rust but I still didn’t find motivation to commit to learn it
