> "Python is the industry standard for all of the major applications we use to create Animated and VFX content, so it goes without saying that we are using it very heavily..." Interesting... very curious to see Netflix using tools in the VFX industry, Shotgun & Nuke to name a few, I wish they can expand more on this.
Most of these use cases would be better served with a type safe language.
You think you're being downvoted because people like dynamic typing very much. You're being downvoted because: A) You left a comment with a strong opinion without expressing it while dismissing other peoples' experience B) Python is in fact a type safe language for a while now https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html - you have pluggable "a la bracha" types.

Well it has a typing mechanism, which is better than nothing, but has the mechanism been shown to be safe? C has types too, but I'm not sure that it would be described as type safe.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think you meant dynamic typing and not dynamic programming.

Question: If they would be, don't you think Netflix would go that route? "Better" is contextually dependent. There's no silver bullet to anything we do in tech.
Not necessarily. Python has a few huge advantages that aren't (directly) related to the quality or utility of the language. For example, hiring and training people to use Python is going to be easier and cheaper than hiring and training people to use C++. Additionally, as mentioned in the article, Python has a massive and healthy ecosystem of high quality packages.
And then there's the cost of porting an existing codebase to a new language...
Do you know what the Netflix culture is regarding remote work ? I've been looking for a job for the first time in 10 years of Python, and Netflix is one of the rare big companies that I still have respect for. https://jobs.netflix.com/ has several offers I would be a good fit for, but I'm not ready to relocate to the US.
We do have an office in Paris: https://jobs.netflix.com/locations/paris-france Netflix is generally opposed to remote work, but some teams may make case by case exceptions (especially in Open Connect, the organization which manages the CDN). I'd encourage you to speak to a recruiter.
