    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 used it quite a bit for writing tools for applications like Maya and Blender as it's the only fully supported API surface. I take it it's pretty bad for anything more complex. I notice it's used quite a bit in science and math communities too.

        It's not. OP just has a hate-on for Python. Python is widely used in many domains and has one of the richest ecosystems of packages.

          Popular and/or widespread does not mean good. Common misconception.

            There is more than one axis (or two or three). One some axis popular and/or widespread is required for good. You can't have very large number of readily available libraries applicable to many domains without a language being popular and/or widespread.
