Because python is #2 on the most used languages list, has great tooling, IDE support, has been around for 30+ years.
It's been used to build serious large scale projects.
The idea is that you can get great runtime performance by transpiling. This is how Facebook worked till 2013-2014 (php -> C++ transpiler).
It's unfortunate that google abandoned the grumpy project. But many good alternatives around.
- bamboozled 4y agoThere are reasons it's #2 on that list, because there's a lot of shit python code out there. Not all of it is Instagram (Django). Probably the most atrocious code I've ever seen has been PHP followed by Python. I use Python personally, I just don't think it's a good choice if you really want a statically typed language...because it's not statically typed.
