Wow, hate-haters gonna hate my hate. The slowest metric for the old code is about 1/3 of a second -- how much benefit does slicing that deliver in real world 0install invocations? "Easier to maintain and extend" -- well, he just cut the population of potential contributors to the project by a factor of 1000. The exciting job he got because it required knowing OCaml, and he spent a year advertising himself as a competent OCaml hacker. I find it very strange to care more about what language a project is written in than what the project actually does.
- toolslive 12y agoI'm going to feed the troll here, but "cut the population of potential contributors to the project by a factor 1000" is a flawed argument : The value of potential contributors is very low. You're better of trying to increase the comfort and power of the _current_ contributors.

Sure, Python has has more programmers available, but that's because it's the flavor of the week (thanks to Google, let's be honest). In 3 years it may be the language time forgot. It makes a lot more sense to pick something you enjoy programming in and makes your life easier than something that everyone else thinks is the shit. Python has its place, and that place is not everywhere.
