Yes, I said quite clearly not to write a 2Mloc server in Python. Honestly, I would lean towards not writing servers of any size in Python, but if scalability and performance are of low concern, it could be a productive language for certain apps. "If we encourage developers to use static typing they will be writing 2Mloc monolithic servers." I don't even know where to begin with this wild assertion. Ill-advised as it was, Dropbox wrote its two million line server long before typed Python even existed. I wasn't around when they started cracking it up (see blog post below), but I strongly suspect the type annotations in the codebase helped rather than hindered that effort. https://dropbox.tech/infrastructure/atlas--our-journey-from-... |
