- styfle 2y agoTrue, Python has a larger std lib, but Node.js has increased a lot in the last two years. Although it’s not so much Python that’s influencing Node.js but more like Deno and Bun that try to include everything but the kitchen sink.
- bayindirh 2y agoIf you code mindfully, Python stdlib can do tons and tons of things (I love logging and argparse, for example). But I have seen the other end of the spectrum, too.
