[mildly OT] Some info about Python

[Lorenzo Donati <lorenzodonatibz@...>]

Hi all!

On a recent thread ("Dead Batteries" ) I argued that Lua lost terrain 
over Python.

I won't bother anyone repeating what I already said, but I stumbled on 
this article which may explain something:

https://www.techrepublic.com/article/python-is-eating-the-world-how-one-developers-side-project-became-the-hottest-programming-language-on-the-planet/

Moreover the recent StackOverflow Developer Survey Results show
Python as one of the most known language among programmers (even among 
professionals), while Lua doesn't even make it on the list.

https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2019#technology-_-what-languages-are-associated-with-the-highest-salaries-worldwide

I thought it could be useful info to share.

I'm just sad because while still loving Lua, it just seems that there is 
no point in investing further time in developing in Lua, unless one has 
a very specific need.

I won't comment further, since I'm bored to death to beat dead horses.

Cheers!
