  We should all go back to writing assembly

    No we should write one of the many modern programming languages that handle certain projects way better, including kotlin, go, or Java. The only things python is best in class at are scripting and as a harness for high performance c++ or fortran.

      What about the projects that python handles better?
      • __loam 5mo ago
        I mentioned those explicitly. People are still using it as a backend language for projects like huge SaaS deployments though, with the hypothesis being that dev time is expensive. With modern languages like kotlin and go, I think that gap is much too narrow to justify using a slow and badly designed language with good syntax.
