The difference is that it is so much easier, by orders of magnitude, to write code that gets shit done in python than any native language I'm aware of.

> With all the effort that's been put into this how many people just jumped ship to a native/more-native language?

I think Go benefited a lot from that.

Again hammer to microscope comparison. Do you realize that your ignorance is bigger than Solar System?

Very useful contribution, thanks! Mainly to demonstrate your own ignorance on the topic at hand.

I did ask a question. The second part is me being belligerent but the question was sincere.

I think Python is shit but so is most everything else, I'm interested in whether people jump ship or just work around it's issues at scale. I work on a programming language designed to avoid messy python scripts internally, so I am sincerely interested in these decisions.

The question is unanswerable. Python started as a scripting and prototyping language and that hasn't and won't completely change. It's fantastic at what it does from that perspective, late additions of complexity notwithstanding.
