I believe Python has done more harm than good to the industry.
Its by nature very inefficient, it leads you in the direction to some very poor abstractions (inheritance, monkey patching, mixins etc) and as a result code that is very prone to subtle bugs and issues.
It deserves all the love it gets as an approachable language, but it deserves a lot more flack for everything else.
But when it comes to GUI toolkits, which of them are efficient? React Native, Tauri, Electron. I don't see a efficient one other than Native toolkits. Even they have their own problems.
