I perceived that there was a lot of hype around Python 15
years ago or so. Now, universities are replacing Java with
Python as the introduction language and Python is also
becoming the defacto language for scientific programming.
Python is basically getting critical mass and is now managing
to take on Matlab and perhaps to some extent even C++/Fortran.
Python has done well in those niches, but when is the last time
you saw a popular GUI app written in Python? That is the
largest segment of the market, and Python has basically no
uptake there. Even Java got nowhere in the consumer GUI
market, other than a few p2p apps like Vuze and the now-defunct
Limewire, largely for piracy.
you could not be more wrong. there are tons of python gui
applications. pygtk, pyqt and wxpython are great libraries that
allows you to create desktop apps very easy and fast. D does not
even have a good solution except for gtkD which is a one man
show. if it wasn't for Mike we would not even have it. leadership
does not care. remember qtd guys stopping everything because a
bug was not getting fixed?
there's also one other thing: atom, vs code, spotify, slack are
all running on electron. does it make it a better platform than
python?
