Hacker News

Python was my main language for more than a decade. My unpopular opinion is that things started to go wrong with asyncio. It feels like a band-aid solution that required a whole new ecosystem to grow around it.

Typing was a good idea, but I feel like it was never fully completed. So we ended up with optional typing, which definitely helps with reading code, but that’s about it. I see many features being implemented to speed up execution, along with attempts — some successful — to overcome the GIL, but all of them look like really complex hacks to me.

Probably because of the PTSD from the Python 3 rollout, there will be no Python 4 that truly addresses the language’s problems.

Over the last few years, I’ve switched to Golang and TypeScript. I miss Python’s elegance, as well as quite a few libraries built for it, but I don’t like the direction the language is heading in. Am I being too pessimistic?

Today I'm launching Mochi - a performance-focused alternative to SvelteKit. Mochi is built on an islands architecture and allows you to keep most components as performant server-side rendered code and hydrate just the components you need. This means smaller JavaScript bundles and faster performance for your users.

Try it out with bun create mochi@latest or go to https://mochi.fast to check out the docs.
