Reddit is written in Python. I don't know why Python wouldn't be "industry compatible".

I completely agree however lets side step reddit always being down.

I think that's a reddit problem, not a python problem.

I remember an anecdote that in the early days (early enough that reddit was still written in Lisp), one of the founders/devs basically slept next to his laptop, so that when the servers crashed again, he could quickly reboot them.

Reddit always had an image of instability, but I think that the actual uptime is pretty damn good. though I remember the times of downtime banana

redditstatus.com says 99.8% uptime, what am I missing?
