Yeah, PHP is extremely common and python frameworks like Flask and Django are getting more popular, but of course no where near PHP.

Just one huge example of a Django user is Instagram: https://engineering.fb.com/2023/08/15/developer-tools/immortal-objects-for-python-instagram-meta/
Correct, Python is not nearly the clusterfuck that PHP is
Ah found the inexperienced developer

I'll admit that it's been quite a while since I've touched PHP, but that was never my main focus.
Coming from C-like syntax, Python looks horrible to me. PHP has come a long way with 7 and 8.
I heard a lot of complaints about Python, but it's looks weren't any of them. It's the sexiest language out there.
Since I moved to python I wish all languages would just drop brackets, they're dirt.
I hear it a lot from almost all my engineer friends, so I guess it just depends on your field.
All the cool engineers use Python to get shit done soon, and C to get it done right.
I've got a C background as well, and I find Python o br considerably cleaner (and the code isn't 50% dollar signs).
Aw shit is it 2010 again?
