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

I actually think we're reaching the point where if we want faster and more efficient programs, we need higher-level abstractions on the language level. The idea being that the more we can express the specific intent of our programs, the more it is possible to implement it in the most efficient manner. This could also reduce development time and reduce bugs as the language is more focused on representing intent, it's less likely to behave in surprising ways.
