Another way to say this is: "no other language will ever be better than X", which is clearly not true.
Eventually something better will arrive. Maybe that's Elixir, maybe not, but is sure won't be Python forever.

- zelphirkalt 3y agoI am just hoping, that when that better thing appears, it wont only be better because it makes use of what is available in Python via some FFI thingy, adding another layer of indirection and abstraction and overhead, but actually better from first principles, from the ground up, or at least not going via Python, to get a similarly big ecosystem.
