because it's been shoehorned into every niche as that's all that taught by academics as it's high pass rate at low levels is what they get paid on

python is just one tool in the box of diverse languages

python is the modern day visual basic

@dekkzz76 @offset___cyan as someone who actually started in his childhood with VB6:

no, it’s even worse than VB(.NET), it’s more like modern-day… PHP (even though Python is older)? JS?

disliking Python as a language is a huge red flag

@offset___cyan

thinking python does 98% of everything is a red flag & a sign of a closed mind

wrong question

have i dealt with programmers brought up on python with a false sense of how good they are till they hit the wall where it's like VB all over again ..... then yes

with python there are loads of hobbyist standard practitioners but you can count on 1 hand the really high level wizards who can wring the best out of it & understand when it's not the right tool for the job
