noon-raccoon··on Ask HN: What email API providers to use for pet project?
What is wrong with Sendgrid? It seems to be long time on the market.
noon-raccoon··on Am I too pessimistic about Python's future?
Ugh, I feel your pain. Why can’t you fully migrate to Python 3? No judgment — just curious.
noon-raccoon··on Is Python Becoming Pinyin?
If you don't know what is Pinyin I googled it for you (I didn't know what it is):

Pinyin is a system for writing Mandarin Chinese sounds using the Latin alphabet. Pinyin is commonly used for learning Chinese pronunciation and for typing Chinese characters.

I 100% agree about Go. It is definitely going to claim its share, even without AI being particularly good at it, because of its speed, native concurrency, and strong typing. It is much less flexible than Python and clearly loses in some areas — for example, Python’s ML and parsing libraries are far superior. However, for API-focused projects, like a typical Flask or FastAPI app, Go seems more powerful.

Frankly, I prefer Python because I find it more elegant. However, in my industry bubble, I see a clear drift toward TypeScript.

A few points that come to mind:

* Most applications run on the web nowadays. With TypeScript, you can write both the front end and the back end. * TypeScript shares many syntactic-sugar ideas with Python, but it is also statically typed. Whether that is good or bad is a hot topic, but it gives you a lot of confidence through compile-time checks. * Running Node for system tasks is as easy as running the Python interpreter. However, Python is still slightly ahead there.

Python has wonderful set of libraries so it is probably going to stay with us for a while. However, I suspect major takeover by Typescript (despite I like Python more).
