Since the introduction of type annotations in python3.x and the arrival of static analysis packages like mypy and pyright, more and more Python code is statically typed. Type systems work by providing compile-time error checking and a fast feedback loop for particular types of error at the expense of increasing verbosity and reducing the overall number of possible programs a language can...
In the rapidly evolving landscape of web development, the performance of backend technologies is a critical factor influencing scalability, efficiency, and user experience. This research aims to present a comprehensive performance comparison of Node.js, Rust, Go, and Python — four prominent technologies widely adopted in web application development. Through a series of systematic tests, we...

Frequently, there is an opinion on what is the best practice. Some other things, like software licenses and naming conventions, are mostly left to the development team to decide. Our software team has developed...
