Python the language is pretty bad. Python the ecosystem of libraries and tools has no equal, unfortunately.
Switching a language is easy. Switching a billion lines of library less so.
And the tragic part is that many of the top “python libraries” are just Python interfaces to a C library! But if you want to switch to a “better language” that fact isn’t helpful.
- kubb 1y agoI wonder if we get automatic LLM translation of codebases from language to language soon - this could close the library gap and diminish the language lock in factor.
