I love Python, but basically 96% of Python code and developers absolutely suck at everything, I'm fixing a shit python codebase right now. It's like a language which people love to use to write shit code.
As a result, every command line bit of glue code I've written for the last decade or so has been in python. At a certain point, it does start to get unwieldy and you can indeed write some awful code in it, but then again, I've seen some pretty awful bash scripts too.
My favorite trick is the fact that you can tell python to
Visual Basic as a tool for building Windows programs with GUIs was pretty hard to beat though.
Maybe there are tools that churn out fully-polished react just as easily nowadays, but I wrote a janky little data visualization app in 2 hours at my internship and they ended up using it for almost 15 years.
Then you write it again in a better language...
Python isn't appreciably faster than something like Typescript to someone with actual experience making programs professionally.
