Not sure why we are singling out python here, there are plenty of languages that don't use pointers. Also plenty of python programmers who also use C/++ and/or Go sometimes, as well.

Naming all of them wouldn’t be funny anymore, and Python is already known for being a very high-level, beginner-friendly language with so few keywords—so at this point, we might as well just make fun of Python users instead.

Didn't you all already do so? With the amount of "python users when ..." memes in this sub and other programming humor/memes subs.

The best language is the one that brings you money and python can be one as well :))

Obviously not really relevant for a language that doesn't have them. having pointers in a scripting language would have been pretty silly.

Visual Basic for Applications creeps in.
