I was surpirsed too when i watched it, genuinely a great production!

It was a great demo! Even with a lot of humor added to the video 😁.

Only a shame it's written in python but ow well. He couldn't know.

Ill bite, why is python a bad thing in this context?

[–] jobbies@lemmy.zip 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think there's always been a bit of snobbery about python. From me included. Looks like its working well here though.

yeah, I don't say copyparty is bad. On the contrary.

I just think Python should be limited to some simple scripts and that is it. I like compiled languages much more... Like Golang or C++ or Rust.

"Should"? Who"s going to police that? You?

Look.. just have fun. Have a nice day.

[–] richieadler@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, zealots like you make it difficult. I believe it's fair you get paid in kind.

I'm not the one shitting on languages online. What you feel is what you're doing to others. How does it feel?

I just don't like Python for actual applications, its slowish, easy to run into run-time issues, etc.

I think Python is fine for some small programs or scripts.. But for servers and real applications I would even consider either Go, C++ or Rust (hack even C#). Its not just me I think, but just in general.

Note: I have nothing against Copyparty, in fact I'm willing to give it a try. And its also not a personal attack.

I see, thanks for sharing! Personally run a few selfhosted projects written in pyhton such as Linkding, and for whatever reason these turn out to be some of my favourite apps 😅
