I know Mixpanel uses both of these, but what are some other startups that use both C and Python?<p>EDIT: Bonus points for any companies hiring junior developers!
Skoobe, a new ebook subscription service based in Munich/Germany.<p>C and Python are in fact our most-used and loved languages.<p>We developed a cross-platform library in C that makes our codebase reusable across multiple platforms, currently we support iOS, Android, Linux and MacOSX. Next: maybe Windows/Windows Phone?<p>Most of our backend services and our web site are running on Python/Tornado. Additionally, we use Python a lot for infrastructure automation on AWS.<p>Btw: we are currently hiring in both areas, send me a mail in case you are interested: hp@skoobe.de<p>If you want to take a look at our app, go here: <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/de/app/skoobe-e-books-leihen-statt/id425361265?mt=8" rel="nofollow">http://itunes.apple.com/de/app/skoobe-e-books-leihen-statt/i...</a>
Enthought - www.enthought.com<p>We are the scipy/numpy folks and use Python/C to solve interesting scientific / engineering problems. I have been writing interesting Python C extensions for the last six months.
The server side code of <a href="http://www.cyclinganalytics.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cyclinganalytics.com/</a> is almost entirely Python with a small amount of C.<p>There's one particular bit of data processing that gets a couple of orders of magnitude speedup by writing the code in C rather than Python. It involves lots of loops and indexes, and it's possible there's a faster way to do it in Python, but I couldn't think of one.
I know that Google is using C and Python. The first version of Google was written in Python. Today the webserver and the web page are written in C, for performance reasons. But internally they still use a lot of Python.
Orvant has lots of Python under the hood. It allows us to move quickly. There are very few things we actually need to use C or C++ for. The main reason we'd use C is to write Python bindings for a C library. :)<p><a href="https://www.orvant.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.orvant.com/</a>
The company I work for uses C and PHP mainly , but as our platform is Gentoo that also makes us users of python. I also write most of the utility scripts I use in python.<p><a href="http://sevone.com" rel="nofollow">http://sevone.com</a>
Nest is using both C (for embedded Linux on the thermostat) and Python (some of the API services) they are also hiring for lots of positions, some are listed at nest.com/careers
<a href="http://www.needle.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.needle.com</a><p>the core chat/webserver is written in C and accessed via Python. And yes, we are hiring jr devs
Just a note: I plan on replying to every comment here. I'm on the tail end of my lunch break right now and don't have the time, but I'll do it first thing when I get home.
Maybe Youtube does?I heard they were using Python.And if you doing a video share site,you will use ffmpeg or something like that.It's must be written in C。
OrionVM in Australia.<p>We do alot of async and evented I/O in Python/C/Cython using Gevent.<p>Python is just one of those languages that is so easy to extend with native code.
