When I was at Google there was a paper titled "Please don't use Python for large programs." Can someone post that? It would be an interesting counterpoint.

- nostrademons 15y agoI don't think it's public. In any case, its argument basically boiled down to "Python doesn't have static types, without static types it's too hard to communicate API information between programmers, Google has thousands of programmers that need to communicate, so please don't use Python."
