regret · production · sethammons · 2024-02-16 · source ↗ · wrong label?“I remember using Twisted some 10 years ago. Never again...”
regret · personal · jononor · 2023-08-22 · source ↗ · wrong label?“They were able to make new contributions to the Go stuff in short order. The Twisted Python, not so much.”
regret · production · sethammons · 2019-12-22 · source ↗ · wrong label?“I experienced it by using Twisted (Python framework) for 5 or so years. And early on it was great However when we switched to using green threads”
mixed · production · 5 yr · rdtsc · 2016-08-11 · source ↗ · wrong label?“we switched from Go to Python (using twisted), and dropped our memory use substantially for holding open hundreds of thousands”
endorse · production · windlep · 2016-03-19 · source ↗ · wrong label?“Yes it is there and it works but it is clunky. After switching to gevent we, for example, got about a third to a half as much code as before.”
regret · production · rdtsc · 2013-08-20 · source ↗ · wrong label?“I've come to it a couple of times ... only to throw up my hands in frustration and go look for a solution somewhere else.”
regret · personal · vosper · 2012-12-28 · source ↗ · wrong label?“Yes, I use Twisted in production. I absolutely consider it worth the learning curve.”
endorse · production · lvh · 2012-12-28 · source ↗ · wrong label?“(I did this a few weeks ago at work. A lot easier with Twisted than with Paramiko!)”
endorse · production · MostAwesomeDude · 2011-08-22 · source ↗ · wrong label?“@inlineCallbacks make linear code very easy to write in twisted... It's been in production for a few years now”
endorse · production · dlsspy · 2010-09-12 · source ↗ · wrong label?“I have evaluated both Twisted and Tornado on a lot of open connections in production and they did not scale”
regret · production · amix · 2010-02-01 · source ↗ · wrong label?“first exposure was twisted in the early 2000s and all sorts of stuff since”
neutral · personal · sophacles · 2024-07-22 · source ↗ · wrong label?“The only reason we switched to Python and Twisted for the first gen Matrix server (synapse) was for rapid prototyping”
neutral · production · Arathorn · 2023-03-04 · source ↗ · wrong label?“ssh into an interpreter gives me perfect control and is reasonably well supported (as far as twisted things go).”
neutral · production · emidln · 2020-03-09 · source ↗ · wrong label?“our first success in this vein was migrating a Python Twisted service to Go.”
neutral · production · sethammons · 2017-07-19 · source ↗ · wrong label?“It had MySQL with a prod snapshot, RabbitMQ, a Django web app and a bunch of twisted services.”
