    The maintainers can be compromised though. Is every single version of every single "vetted" package / maintainer also vetted?

    I would still pick Java any day over the vast majority of languages. Gigantic ecosystem, gigantic community, gigantic knowledge base, solid IDEs, and the list goes on.

    There isn't much of a culture around code quality in ML / AI / DS.

    Well, a lot of those requirements are highly bespoke to your task and to your team. My C# pipelines and C# apps are far easier to package and deploy than my Python apps for example…

    What is your problem? 8 years is a disappointingly long time.

    He is the one trying to test his stuff though, hence the question.

    You're at the whim of the crap dependencies that you choose to use in your projects. If they don't document their code or if they force you to upgrade your tooling, it's not the fa…

    The mypy experience is awful with numpy and pandas.

    Python is nowhere near as "batteries included" as .NET for example.

    Can you please explain why not use them or what's the use case?

    "Just use X" is not what I want to hear. Python packaging is a pile of garbage. I don't want to have to use a 3rd party tool! Just fix the damn core tools and make them consistent …

    Instead of being insecure about criticisms to the Python ecosystem and calling my disappointment "hatred" I'd rather we focused on solutions. Just because this mess happens in some…

    Sigh I don't see why I need to use a 3rd party tool for what should be a very straightforward process in Python out of the box. In fact, I think these days it actually is straightf…

    Same can be said about people commenting about how shit Vista was and assuming W10 must be the same. Clueless morons on both sides. Who cares about your crappy distro or your W10 P…

    Fanboi discussions and reactions are the norm in the Python community. But this what you get when maybe more than half of your community is made of non-devs, who never touched any …
