rewrite in python

[SU1CatDEV]

I think it'd greatly improve both user and developer experience if the codebase was rewritten in the award-winning summer 2019 hit programming language Python. it is simple to use and readable, and also very robust which means anything can be done, except perhaps making tw*tter Actually Good. This will not only help with onboarding new developers to the codebase, although i doubt anyone would actually wanna work on it seriously, but also with user experience becauuuseeeeee idk i ran outta ideas. also i dont like scala. Not only that, but Python is great for Machine Learning and Data Science, and although I am, by trade, and AI doomer, I think this algorithm would benefit from some nonetheless.

anyways i dont think this will be a hard fix as a fellow programmer, cus a part of the codebase is already written in the award-winning summer 2019 hit programming language Python. ty for ur time!! ik theres a lot of issues to sort thru but i hope mine will be heard!! :3

Twitter was originally written in Ruby; it's an open question whether that's worse than Python or Python is worse.

honestly shocked this wasn’t already rewritten in Python, the language of the gods (and also every single Kaggle notebook ever). if python were a person, it’d be that chill friend who always shows up in sweatpants but somehow still gets hired by FAANG.

i say we do the right thing™, finish the sacred migration to Python, let the codebase ascend to readability heaven, and bask in the glory of indentation-based bliss. we can sprinkle in some numpy just for vibes, and maybe even train a tiny ML model that says “lol no” when someone tries to write Scala again. let the codebase speak for itself — in clean, elegant, snake-charmed syntax.

and scala?? i only speak two languages: Python and passive aggression.
+1 from me 🐍✨
