No mention of containers? I didn't write Python code since a while now, but it would have been nice to have a comparison with container technologies, which weren't available at the creation time of pypi and pip. Containers solve b

Is Julia a JIT compiler? How is Julia different than Pypy or even the JVM? There is also the new GraalVM in the landscape. I don't see the plus value in Julia compared to Python or Java. It will still be slower than C/C++, probabl

I would expect the intelligence services to be present on the dark web, as undercover agents, to gather information or dismantle criminal organizations. It must feel strange when they discover they are tracking someone of their own services
