Is Python suitable for creating social media? networks?

Question

Python

I recently became interested in Web development, chose a stack for myself and am going to clarify about the perspective of Python in the field of social development. networks. Should it be used for High load projects? How efficient would it be compared to other languages ​​for the same purpose?

Answer 1

To create highload projects (whether social networks or something else), any stack is suitable, because the ability to cope with high loads is achieved by horizontal scaling, which allows you to evenly distribute the load between servers. And in what language and framework the backend is written does not matter at all. As for python specifically - for example, Instagram is written in it (python + django), I think this, without any words, should be enough to understand that python is more than suitable for such tasks)
