Why not Python? Just wondering.
- smoyer 14y agoThe last "big" Python project I wrote was in 2007 or 2008 and involved the import of a lot of data, processing that data and then a relatively simple web application for managing jobs and displaying graphs of the resulting data. I used TurboGears since it seemed to be Python's equivalent to RoR and while the web application development was great, the ability make use of all the processors I provided was effectively blocked by the GIL (and yes ... I tried several different strategies to get around it). I think the class of problems I was trying at the time were prone to hitting locks, but after three or four projects like that, I just decided it wasn't worth it.
