Re: [GENERAL] Python versus Other Languages using PostgreSQL - Mailing list pgsql-general
Thank you for the links. I'm glad there are other languages that are working with PostgreSQL. My question still remains though - why is it that all the largest web platforms that have used PostgreSQL *specifically* choose Python as their back-end language? Why are Postgres and Python so married, in the same way that Node.js is largely married to MondogDB?

I noticed that most of the largest web platforms that use PostgreSQL as
their primary database, also use Python as their primary back-end
language. Yet, according to every benchmark I could find over the last
couple of years, back-end languages like PHP, HHVM, and Node.JS
outperform Python by 2x to 8x!
Postgres does not really care what you use to pull data from it. There are many libraries across many languages that you can use.
