Please no, python should be deprecated at this age, especially in the era of llm, horrible language from the performance to the dependencies to everything, can’t believe it got popular over perl back in the day
I don’t understand the points attempted to be made here.

Using a tool to generate a product in a language that someone isn’t familiar with is not a good idea.

Nor is it a good idea to choose a language strictly for its performance when requirements like portability and framework maturity are at the forefront.

Dependency management isn’t the greatest, but it’s also not awful for a deployed product. Managing dependencies as a developer with multiple projects that each have their own virtual environment may not be fun but it’s not exactly an impossible mess.

from __future__ import everything

And I’m sure people can’t believe that the iPod got more popular than the Zune, but sometimes convenience and taste are what drive decisions.
