Now from what I understand situation is way better, but still - that's what it looked like just three years ago, when Python already had millions of people writing code in it.

- snapcaster 4y agoYou understand that it's the ratio and comparative numbers right? A single team of C++ developers creating that stuff can support infinity python programmers building on top
- chrisseaton 4y agoYeah - but it's not 'no one'.
- Supermancho 4y agoI'm not sure how being pedantic changes the perception, or state, of the industry.
- cortesoft 4y agoSorry, 'no one' is clearly an exaggeration. "Not enough to affect the job market" is a better way of putting it.

- dspillett 4y agoOK, few are actively recruiting for people on those projects, as a proportion of the whole job market. A few juicy jobs there and a huge pile of less well paying ones means that any average is going to be low. The existence of those roles is great for those that have/get them, but this doesn't help the wider pool who need to use other tech to get the better wages – a situation that results in fewer newly training in c++ because those outside the pool see the low average.
