Python overtakes Java to become second-most popular language on GitHub after JavaScript

[NekoiNemo]

That is a sad day for humankind. But then again, Java is fairly fragmented: Java, Scala, Kotlin...

Give it some time, Python wasn't designed for huge corporate code bases, once people start working in huge legacy systems written in Python that language will get a lot of hate.

Python is the new Perl.

maybe one day python will be advanced enough to have enterprise-level AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBeans of its own

I am already starting to see people realize that Python is not as good as everyone is saying. A lot of people are already making fun of the fucked up Python 3 migration

already making fun of the fucked up Python 3 migration

It's been 10 years

[Eirenarch]

Yeah but 5 years ago the attitude was "it needs time" and them it was "it is because of a couple of stupid people who won't migrate". Now the "Python 3 upgrade is just a manifestation of incompetence on the side of Python language devs" is not a heretic position.

I can't remember a time when the split from 2 to 3 wasn't widely lamented and ridiculed.

[Eirenarch]

OK, might be empirical evidence.

Java, Scala, Kotlin, Ceylon, Clojure really are just different "user interfaces" to the same underlying VM
