		andrewstuart on July 6, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Backend of Meta Threads is built with Python 3.10 Threads is intended to be massive scale. I’d use the analogy of a Japanese bullet train as the compiled language and a diesel train as Python. Python is my primary language along with JS but if I was building a new service for Meta I wouldn’t use either at the back end.
