In recent weeks, I have posted an absolutely staggering amount of content on Lemmy.

My goal is simply to support the platform. I hate huge corporations.

Now I’m taking a break. I won’t post anything or I’ll post very little (I still feel a little guilty!! Who will post new content 😢?)

But I need to focus on improving my own life and relax.

However… I’m just curious.

Is the number of Lemmy users actually increasing, decreasing, or staying the same? Is that data even available?

        C is easy as well… For me, even more easy than python, as I read like 100x more C++ rather than python…

        I don’t even bother to write python anymore 🤣 I let it generate by AI nowadays

          Honestly as long as its a “supported” language and well built, I would argue the language doesn’t matter as much as its execution.

          I make my $$ on python, but C/C++ is soooo much better than when I started back a couple of decades ago. both are “fast enough”. Im glad there are people like you that like to work with the Cs of the world :).

      Reddit is written in Python. It was originally written is Common Lisp, but they rewrote it in Python since it is easier to find developers.

        Damn! How inefficient 🤪 but that explains a lot

        Python dev tend to vibe code while C (and other similar programming language) devs tend to plan more prior coding.

        As a decision maker, I would let my devs only use python for proof of concepts or for build scripts…

          Damn! How inefficient 🤪 but that explains a lot

          Although I’m not a big fan of python, or dynamically typed languages in general, I think its DX is a lot better than stuff like C. Unless you really enjoy leaking 40GB of ram per second.

          Python dev tend to vibe code

          What? Maybe the percentage of vibe coders among python users is higher, but that’s irrelevant. Just hire the real developers…
