I certainly am no fan of C but from a certain point of view it’s much easier to understand what’s going on in C.
The 'magic' in Python means that skilled developers can write libraries that work at the appropriate level of abstraction, so they are a joy to use.
Conversely, it also means that a junior dev, or an LLM pretending to be a junior dev, can write insane things that are nearly impossible to use correctly.
Oh. Why haven't I seen those?
Oh cool someone has imported a library that does a shedload of really complicated magic that nobody in the shop understands - that's going to go well.
We're (The Software Engineering community as a whole) are also seeing something similar to this with AI generated code, there's screeds of code going into a codebase that nobody understands is full across (give a reviewer a 5 line PR and they will find 14 things to change, give them a 500 line PR and LGTM is all you will see).
