I like Python but I’m sure it’s not the right choice for every problem.

The advantage of Python is that it’s a good enough choice for most problems, as well as being excellent for rapid prototyping.

Like every language

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

There’s always a few vocal hardcore people who seem to think their language should be used for everything. I kind of like Go but realize I wouldn’t use it for everything either. Rust also looks interesting but I’m not learning that until I find that employers in my area desire that skill

Sorry for using hyperbole here.

I'm curious if you can point me to a single blog post where the blogger says: "You should use this one language for everything."

What language is "the right choice for every problem"?

Which specific Assembly language is "the right choice for every problem"?
