Comment on Google layoffs: Sundar Pichai-led company fires entire Python team for ‘cheaper labour’

Python is great for what it is, but the best language developed in your lifetime? Its type system is janky and bolted on. A good type system is one of the main things I look for to call a programming language great.

It’s a scripting language, its typing system is more than adequate.

  It’s my favorite scripting language, but far from my favorite language overall.

  Go check C# or Typescript and then come back.

    When you’re being compared to typescript, you know you’re not the best language.

    Typescript is amazing dude.
    
    Our tech stack is C# .net, typescript and SQL with a GraphQL wrapper.
