    The language is as important as architecture and stuff.

    Pick the right language for the right task.

    Performance? Don’t use python.

    Everything else? Use python because everyone does.

    I like using python just cuz I can quickly get it working. I wish I had the time to undust C and try getting that to do what I want but my work cares more about iteration and speed to implement than speed of the program itself.

      Python has many great aspects, unfortunately it’s missing strong static typing.

        Most of the code at my current job doesn’t even have the optional type annotations. You just see like def something(config). What’s config? A dict? A list? A string? Who the fuck knows.

        Unfortunately most of the developers seem to have a very pre-modern take on programming and aren’t interested in changing anything.

    But, Haskell…, it’s so well thought out, so evolved, the best of all functional programming in one, the ability to handle infinite lists, the lazy evaluation, the strict type checking, the compiler that catches whole classes of bugs, the curt syntax, the ability to breathe it like pure thought, the clarity like maths…

    Okay, sorry, I better leave the room too.
