In the debut episode of The Programming Languages Podcast with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna zoom in on Python's enduring dominance as we hit mid-2026. They break down a single surprising number: Python now runs over 72% of all AI/ML workloads in production, up from 63% two years ago. They contrast this with the Rust hype cycle — yes, Rust is eating systems programming, but it's nowhere near Python's breadth in data science and automation. Lucas walks through a specific case: how Netflix's metaflow library (built on Python) powers their content personalization pipeline, while Luna challenges whether Python's GIL still matters now that Python 3.13 has optional free-threading. They also touch on JavaScript's steady hold on web dev, and why TypeScript is actually the fastest-growing language by job postings in 2026. The conversation is grounded, specific, and avoids fanboy wars — just two journalists who actually write code for a living. New episodes drop daily.
