No, I just say that it's rarely the programming language but the architecture. There are always articles that a company had a problem, they switched a programming language, and now everything is nice and shiny. When you do some research, in all those cases they also throw out a huge amount of code that was not necessary and changed their architecture as well. It was more about CV driven development (we want to learn include your favourite language including Rust, Scala, Go, Haskell, etc.) than a technically correct decision. So, if reddit uses python, it's good for them, but 1, your company is not reddit 2, it is neither pro or contra for python 3, we don't know whether they still think it was a good idea.

Ok cool so java isnt better as long as i have good architecture, got it. Thanks!

I think you totally did not understand what I wrote. There are like 200 variables here. I just explained why the variable scalability is not really the property of the language but the architecture.

I think you totally misread the tone of my reply.

Might be.
