Or are you saying that the code will be shittier as a result? I do wonder about that, but also if the errors can get made quickly enough and then resolved, the overall process could still end up being faster?:-P
Just joking since I’m not a fan of Python’s design choices, but I do worry that as development goes on the tech debt will pile up and will be more difficult to maintain.
Is that because Python breaks everything seemingly every time it updates? I don’t know Python well, that’s just what I seem to hear people saying often.
If so, would it really matter so much in this case, bc it’s not code running on clients so much as a handful of server machines, so couldn’t the specific library version used be mentioned and constrained to be used?
I don’t like indentation affecting which block code belongs to, its poor type safety (with type hints being a minor band-aid), awful multithreading capabilities (being able to disable the GIL now helps but introduces its own issues), and multiple design decisions which, although make Python flexible and dynamic, make it hard to optimize running Python code and so all the performant libraries are written in something else like C and then you’re stuck having that as a dependency.
Yeah but it’s written in Python.
Which will lead to faster development?
