Python is not that bad and while I, like Armin, have been moving slowly away from it due to a number of reasons, it is still one of the most versatile tools in my toolbelt.
- whatevsbro 13y agoCould you tell me a little about the reasons for moving away from Python? I'm somewhat surprised by people saying it's a bad technology choice.
- DasIch 13y agoIt's not a bad technology choice. It's that people themselves evolve, get interested and learn new things. Armin apparently is somewhat involved with Rust now, I doubt that's because he is going to write web application in it but it's because he has become interested in developing applications that require a low-level language. Ian Bicking has been working for Mozilla for a while now and Mozilla is very focused on using Javascript... Important people in the Python community becoming interested in new things, learning new things, is not a bad thing, it's a very good thing. You want people with influence to learn new things, get excited about them. That's what sparks evolution, new ideas and creativity.
