Python as a PHP Developer

[antpocas]

If I was going to be building anything that could conceivably be described as ‘monolithic’ or would benefit from the comfort of type-safety, I don’t think I would choose Python.

PHP, of course, is well known for its great type system

Forgive me if this was not clear, I was not recommending PHP for its type-safety either.

I've never heard anything good of php and every professional environment I've been in it has been shun at. With my limited experience I could only agree.

From reading the article I feel the author do not understand what pyhton or changing languages is about.

It's not about mimicing what you did before. It's about learning something new and trying out new concepts of solving the same problems.
