This is wrong, that ship sailed 10+ years ago. Python is used for almost everything, better get used to it.
This kind of garbage logic lead to the horrible Ruby/Python/Javascript with C extensions split that makes their ecosystems very brittle, versus Java/C# where it is expected that things are fast enough without C and package management is much easier.
- cwalv 3y agoIt's true that python is used for "almost everything", but it's only true because it plays nicely with C. I understand the desire/demand for general purpose tools. The thing is, there are always tradeoffs. Acknowledging the tradeoffs and designing more specialized tools that work well together isn't necessarily garbage logic.
- oblio 3y agoPython is no longer specialized. I mean, it's specialized for: * data science * AI/ML * webdev * DevOps tools * an embedded extension language for 100000 programs ... The sooner core Python devs accept this, the sooner the right thing can be done. Python is not AWK.
