I came to that conclusion when I saw a list of the top 15 websites (based on traffic). On that list, *all* of the sites that used PostgreSQL as their primary data store, also used Python as their primary back-end language. Those three sites are/were Yahoo, Instagram and Uber. 3 out of 3 is a pretty high statistical correlation when you're only talking about a sample of 15. Given that, my saying, "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.", was a fair observation. An observation is just that (one blind man feeling an elephant). Saying "I noticed that" is a *very* different thing than making an assertion. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=icon> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=link> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Wed, May 10, 2017 at 7:37 AM, Adrian Klaver <adrian.kla...@aklaver.com> wrote: > On 05/09/2017 01:00 PM, Paul Hughes wrote: > >> Thank you all for taking the time to answer my questions.
