Many on this list(myself included) will want to know how you came to that

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

What list was that?

I ask because:

1) Uber
Why Uber Engineering Switched from Postgres to MySQL
https://eng.uber.com/mysql-migration/

2)Yahoo
AFAIK Yahoo uses just the Postgresql SQL parser over their own database. Also Yahoo makes extensive use of JavaScript and other technologies beside Python.

3) Instagram
Probably still Python/Postgres based though now they are part of Facebook it will be interesting to see if that changes.


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.
