Andrei suggested posting more widely.
That's flaimbait:
«Many really popular websites use Python. But why is that?
Doesn't it affect the performance of the website?»
No. Really popular websites use pre-generated content / front
end caches / CDNs or wait for network traffic from distributed
databases.
really popular portals, news sites? yes. really popular
websites? nope. like booking.com, airbnb.com, reddit.com are
popular websites that have many parts which have to be dynamic
and responsive as hell and they cannot use caching,
pre-generated content, etc.
using python affect the performance of your website. if you
were to use ruby or php your web app would be slower than it's
python version. and python version would be slower than go or d
version.
Yep. This occurred to me too. Sorry Ola, but I think you don't
know how sausages are made. Do you really think that all the
websites out there are performance tuned by network programming
specialists? You'd be surprised!
