- threeseed 3y ago"JIT, lazy-loaded modules, pre-compiled static modules, and a bunch of other interesting tweaks against vanilla Python 3.10"

- troupo 3y agoIt seems they are re-purposing Instagram's backend for this. And Instagram's backend is Python
- kleinsch 3y agoIG is built in Python (which is why this is also) and it seems to scale fine.
- super_flanker 3y agoAs far as I can tell from my prior experience of working at Insta is that all the work is done by various services written in C++/hack. Python/Cinder would be just interface layer routing the incoming request/response from/to client.
