Wait Python sucks? How do I unfollow

Comments

Python is the best. Always just one obvious way to do everything. So stable compared to all the other scripting languages. Totally won't break your existing code base with its next update. Super readable with the bolted on type annotations. Endless joy.

I can tell you about it if you want 😁

Amen Python sucks.
I would elaborate a little, the frontend is great, python is a very easy language to pick up. The backend is absolutely atrocious for anything performance sensitive

I’ve made it pretty far with parallelism before needing to worry about raw performance. It really just depends on the use case.

Of course, turn me off Python and sell me on Golang, go! 😁

Here is exactly what you need: https://youtu.be/ADlIelOEb5E?t=658&si=1E1kVZKQaLZVSIuF (I skipped ahead to the good part)

OOOOOH. I should make a video showing the glorious and unholy things you can do combining Asyncio and multiprocessing. Trust me, it’s GREAT (and hilarious).

Go is absolutely GOAT tier with concurrency though! Chef’s kiss!

Oof

Fair enough. I think Python is planning to get rid of the GIL but I think it’s still experimental

dotmrjosh.dev•119 days ago

i dont know if they're disabling by default but in 3.13+ you can disable it with the flag `--disable-gil`
(PEP 703 if you wanna dig into it more)
