Dear oh dear oh dear oh dear oh dear.
Please read what I said again, more carefully, starting from the first word, and try not to be so contrary. I was referring to the fact that the shiny and new tooling will be what attracts users to a given platform / language / ecosystem, regardless of the latter's age. Other participants on this thread apparently seem to have understood this.
Happy new year.
- PartiallyTyped 3y agoAnd I was expressing that it isn't that shiny new tooling that attracts users, nor is it the "new" stuff. Nobody uses python because of jetbrains, or whatever. It has nothing to do with IDE support. Jetbrains has support because python is popular, and not the other way around. I was also expressing that Python is an old, almost ancient language, and yet it more used than languages that, by your reasoning, had better "tooling" in the sense that you are using it. Making the point that it has nothing to do with the "age" of the language, the fact that it is perceived as new, or having better tools. Python isn't popular because of its tooling, but despite it. It is popular because it makes it easy to leverage the ecosystem and get things done. It seems that other people understood as much.
