Saying goodbye to Python
This is exactly where I'm at. If I had to characterize Python with one phrase, it's "blandly practical". Sure, Python gets the job done, and it's not a horrid mess like some languages. But at the same time, it's just kind of there. There just aren't any projects out there that I want to write (day job-wise or spare-time wise) that scream "I have to use Python for this!". There are no new exciting projects or libraries using Python that I have to check out now.Javascript has Angular JS that I want to play with. Go is shaping up to be an efficient and easy-to-use server-side language. Rust is C++ that doesn't want to make me gouge my eyese out. But what about Python? Apart from throwaway command-line tools, I've got nothing.
