Python is good now!
Python is good now!
July 16, 2025
I love César Soto Valero’s recent post I’m Switching to Python and Actually Liking It.
To my great surprise, I’ve found that Python, and everything around it, has really improved a lot over the last decades.
Here are just three examples:
- Python has created a very complete ecosystem of libraries and tools for processing and analyzing data.
- Python has gotten faster with optimized static compilers like Cython.
- Python has done a good job of hiding its legacy ugliness (such as
__init__
,__new__
, and similar aberrations), sweetening its syntax to accommodate developers with good taste.
