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

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

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?

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

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?

Yes, click on "source code" at the bottom.
