Apparently he chose his article title as "click bait". Apparently he
does not really hate Python (So he says.). His leader paragraph is:
"Python is viewed as a ubiquitous programming language; however, its
design limits its potential as a reliable and high performance systems
language.
Python is simply not a high performance system language, but it has
other virtues. You would not likely choose Python for a sophisticated
distributed computing application, but not everyone needs to write a
sophisticated distributed computing application. I believe those that
do, will be conscientious enough to choose an appropriate tool.
Unfortunately, not every developer is aware of its
limitations."
As I currently do not have the necessary technical knowledge to
properly evaluate his claims, I thought I would ask those of you who
do. I have neither the knowledge or boB-hours to write a large
distributed system code base, but I am curious if Python is truly
limited for doing these in the ways he claims.
BTW, I am not trying to start (another) heated, emotional thread. You
guys do sometimes get carried away! I honestly just what to know the
truth of the matters out of my continuing to learn Python. I suspect
there is probably some truth in his claims, but I am not sure if he is
taking things out of their proper application contexts or not.
Thanks!
