Wait. Python is growing? Somehow something feels off. I'm guessing that's not in the web dev field but rather in the data analysis field. Been keeping an eye out for remote web dev work with a company using python and best practices from extreme programming (especially TDD) and it's almost impossible. The most common stack I see from that kind of company is rails or a js based stack (purely subjective observation there).
Need to take a more careful look at this stuff.

- nstart 12y agoBummer for me. Learning ruby these days and trying to pick up other js related things. It's utterly overwhelming.
- bsg75 12y agoIt is, but does not need to be destructively so. Become an expert in a few, and competent in several (over time). If app dev is your thing, with Ruby/Rails and JS you probably can't go wrong. Pick up some PHP for when you (will) encounter it.
