Selecting a programming language can be a form of premature optimization
This blog post assumes Python is more productive than other languages. People like to make this claim about not only Python, but many other dynamic programming languages, specially Ruby, PHP and Lisp... but there&#x27;s very little evidence to support that... programmers tend to be most productive in whatever language they know best. If they know both Python and Java equally well, I would bet they would be almost exactly as productive in either.
