'The problem is that you don't "learn (Python|Rust|Ruby|C++|Go)". The problem is that you need a whole ecosystem to do anything useful and that ecosystem is highly fractured and never seems to converge.'
My virtualenv has close to a hundred deps. Tried packaging anything in Python lately? How about type checking? It's the same everywhere, the grass just looks patchier when it's not a park you're used to going to.
There are over seven billion people on this planet, convergence of opinion is the exception.
- bsder 4y agoIf you are deploying to Django, you've likely converged to a specific set of Python dependencies that have been pretty static for close to a decade. I'd be surprised if my Django virtualenv has ever had more than 20 dependencies.
- miiiiiike 4y agoThe whole of the Django community has not converged on the same deps. Same with JavaScript. With Python/Django there's uWSGI vs. Gunicorn vs. etc, etc, etc. Then there's ASGI with Uvicorn vs. Daphne vs. Hypercorn. That's just running your code. Nothing is one-size fits all.
