I Am Worried About The Future Of Python
"Python behind the webserver is a powerful tool and one that has enabled a lot of great sites and products and services. Unfortunately, once the content hits the wire, the Python stops."<p>Not sure if im being ignorant here but surely this is a problem for most server side languages? PHP, Ruby, Go, Perl would all suffer the same problems. Browser vendors only want to have JS client side for obvious reasons, this doesn't just affect python.<p>Js is clearly doing a fine job at client side programming, should we not be happy with that?<p>Why are people obsessed about creating a "jack of all trades" language instead of letting languages do what they do best?<p>Taken from the comments...
"I suspect javascript will become like assembly and all languages targeting the browser platform will need to be compiled to javascript."<p>That sounds like hell to a front-end developer. Its bad enough learning coffeescript or other dialects if a company uses them, but other languages too?
