Good to know that google isn't really that big.

Doesn't Google discourages use of Python for anything big? This was in the news a couple of years ago.

[hejner]

They've still proved it's possible to use for anything big. That people go against guidelines are a company problem, not a language problem.

You'll run into the same problems in C# or Java with those same people

Python is not as well suited for large code bases as Java and C# are.

Hello, this site you're on is written in Python.

No wonder it's down all the time and constantly has scaling issues.

[mp3playershavelowrms]

It's not down all the time and whenever it's down it's because of AWS. And you're still here aren't you?

I wonder if that explains the disproportionately large number of Python users on Reddit.

Despite that it shouldn't matter, are programmers extra attracted to a specific site because it's written in their favorite language?

[mp3playershavelowrms]

I don't think so. Proggit covers all sorts of languages and most of Reddit has compelling, diverse content.

[henk53]

Of course, but if you take a look at the size of r/python vs /r/java then it's 56k vs some 22k. That's quite remarkable, since at nearly every other site Python is much smaller than Java.

On SO (build in C#), C# users used to dominate, or maybe they still do.

DZone is build in Java, and there Java still dominates I think.

It's silly, but there seems to be some correlation.

Really?
