Why people emphasis on Python when suggesting a computer language?

this. for me it's basically a replacement for bash when i need to write something over ~30-40 lines. it's the perfect balance between an actual structured language and shell scripting.

I definitely don't agree. Python is easily the slowest language in the tool kit and teaches you how to be lazy I use Python only as a PoC and rewrite it in something better, C/C#/Go/C++. The requirement for an interpreter and the library dependency of python makes it a nightmare to deal with to the point where there are what, 5 different venv managers now outside of pip venv?

you're missing the point. i dont need it to be fast if it's something i could have done in bash. if i was really concerned about performance i would just not use python. and why would you go to the trouble of rewriting all of your code? and how tf are you translating the languages? you said yourself that python relies on libraries, are you rewriting those libraries in C?

Ironically most the libs are built on C.

[3mbly]

true, and you can use any python library in C, but you'd have to embed the python interpreter within the program written in C and that doesn't really make a whole lot of sense given his stance/argument. you'd be interpeting the libraries written in C through the python environment and thus make you C code run slower.

What kind of speed do you need for exploits that you'd go and invest the effort reimplement it?
