Re:Mojo: The usability of Python with the performance of C by bullen on Friday May 05, 2023 @06:03AM (#35827199)
Python is hardly usable for big projects.

The closest I get to this is hot-deploying a C dynamic lib compiled with debug on a core C++ engine compiled with release.

That way I get stacktraces from "the moving code" I can read remotely without losing performance (move the heavy parts into the core engine).

The engine needs to be extremely stable for this to work though.

I've used Python on many large projects over the past 20 years. IME it's been extremely usable for big projects.

Additionally I've consulted on a couple of large Python that were a mess, but on closer inspection, the team was doomed to fail no matter what tool they used, and honestly I think Python just helped them get further than they otherwise would have. :)
