Python is overrated

I wanted to upvote , but second tag......

I'm a Java developer. I've had a small footprint on other languages, but I'm wondering if I should try Python in the next project. Do you suggest not to do this and why?

Everything is overrated

@kaae it was okay, maybe try it in a small project first. Just dont expect consistency.

Ruby is underrrated. Just sayin

Not for u, by the way @AmbiScript

@AmbiScript I truly despise Python with every fiber of my being.
But my workplace continues to produce unmanageable garbage-fire quality of keyboard-diarrhea, all in Python. While it remains the wrong tool for the job, and a bad decision on any caliber. It's popular, thus used, and thus:my fucking problem.

@AmbiScript If I offended you - my sincere apologies.

Everything is correct except your fuck python tag. People at your workplace may be some shit nutbags who don't know how to use python but in reality you can structure the code and project as good as Java. I always said and saying again it's the weilder of tool who is powerful not the tool itself. So if they learn they can produce some nice code.

Also look at some pure python libs like airflow, dask, celery you will see that they built some awesome things and to the follow up the structure is pretty nice in their code

Y'all need to take look back at perl. It has it's downpoints, ofc, but with ruby existing later, python was an unnecessary invention imho..:b

@AlexDeLarge Dafuq, Python came before Ruby?
Well then my comment made no sense, I apologize.^^

I was referring to the fact that there is no need for so many languages used just to be some quick'n'dirty scripting language. Because the more there are, the more they aren't qnd anymore, if you have to set up a different fucken runtime and some packages everytime.

That's like if there were 2 more standards next to HTML different browsers would render.
