Mention Python in a HN thread, and prepare for people to start moaning. IDK, maybe it's the SV filter bubble dealing with some mono-repo from google with a bajillion lines of legacy Python to support. Yeah, I can't imagine how unwieldy that might be. But for those of you that extol the virtues of the 'safety' a compiled language brings I say, try supporting a Java app that's been held together with shoe-strings and bubble-gum for 15+ years (in the enterprise world). Same nightmare, but much harder to re-architect.
