A Recent History of Python Through Stack Overflow Questions and Answers

on YouTube ↗31m

" summary

A concrete claim: an open source package builds interactive text analytics over the full Stack Overflow dump (95 GB XML) by clustering words rather than documents, producing 1024 word clusters that run on a laptop and let you browse and edit topic groupings. Key numbers: peak ~200k questions/month, ~7.5% posts tagged python, ~15% of recent python threads touch pandas and dataframes. The demo omits code blocks, reports clear trends toward data science and notebooks, and the tool “works better than hoped.”
