Lots of analysts, data scientists, traders, engineers, etc., use Python third party packages successfully, and have never touched, or maybe even head of, Docker.
And yeah, in general there are significantly less NodeJS third party packages interfacing with packages that directly depend on OSes and hardware. Python has many third party packages that are older than NodeJS that depend on foreign function interfaces, win32 com apis, directly talking to graphics shaders, etc.
- hot_gril 3y agoPython packages are painful even if nothing native is involved. There are NodeJS packages that rely on native code too, difference is the packaging system is a lot simpler to use, though it's starting to get worse with the `import` vs `require` nonsense and Typescript.
