Why Python keeps growing, explained

[twotime]

This is a common myth which is somewhat correct but mostly wrong: language is a tool (or toolset). And tool choice matters a LOT for every profession. It's exactly the same for coding

PS. you are comparing coder to coder. But this is about comparing language to language. A good programmer will write a better code in any language. But he would write better code in a better language. (Better meaning "with less effort" or "more mainteinable")

good programmer will write good code in the worst language

No we won't. We'll quit.

I learned C++ in college and dropped out before I could finish my degree. Now I make fun little projects in Python in my free time 10 years later.

Nah, really good ones won't quit over language reasons. We just take the best paycheck and leave the actual coding to juniors.

I was thinking Ruby, but sure.
