Portable file server with accelerated resumable uploads, dedup, WebDAV, FTP, TFTP, zeroconf, media indexer, thumbnails++ all in one file, no deps - 9001/copyparty
I just don’t like Python for actual applications, its slowish, easy to run into run-time issues, etc.
I think Python is fine for some small programs or scripts… But for servers and real applications I would even consider either Go, C++ or Rust (hack even C#). Its not just me I think, but just in general.
Note: I have nothing against Copyparty, in fact I’m willing to give it a try. And its also not a personal attack.
I see, thanks for sharing! Personally run a few selfhosted projects written in pyhton such as Linkding, and for whatever reason these turn out to be some of my favourite apps 😅
It was a great demo! Even with a lot of humor added to the video 😁.
Only a shame it’s written in python but ow well. He couldn’t know.
Ill bite, why is python a bad thing in this context?
I think there’s always been a bit of snobbery about python. From me included. Looks like its working well here though.
yeah, I don’t say copyparty is bad. On the contrary.
I just think Python should be limited to some simple scripts and that is it. I like compiled languages much more… Like Golang or C++ or Rust.
“Should”? Who"s going to police that? You?
Yes me.
In everybody’s lives?
Look… just have fun. Have a nice day.
Yeah, zealots like you make it difficult. I believe it’s fair you get paid in kind.
