Yet, somehow people do this with python, perl, and ruby. Google hires professional python people too.
- hbrn 3y agoNot only do this, but do it way more successfully. I'll never get tired of repeating that among top YC startups, Java as a primary language contributes to roughly 1% of value, while Python + Ruby are almost at 70%. https://charliereese.ca/y-combinator-top-50-software-startups/ https://charliereese.ca/y-combinator-top-50-software-startup...
- germandiago 3y agoIf by successfully you mean time to market, for sure you are right. C++ gives more return when you start to save in infra because you have a more efficient language, if coded properly. Same goes for Go vs Python. The right tool for the right job. I would use (and will, I am on it) Django for a SaaS that I have for the backend. If things start to work relatively well, then, I will keep identifying, if there are, bottlenecks and migrate with a hybrid architecture parts of the workload to C++. This allows me to save in infrastructure bills.
