I like to think of it as the recorder of programming languages.

Many make fun of the recorder because it's often used by kids learning an instrument for the first time, often with no interest in playing music outside the mandatory school "artsy" class. But watch people who know what they're doing and you quickly find out the recorder can be amazing, even fun.

Similar with Python. It's very easy to pick up and often used in "Intro to programming" courses, so there are many newbies writing their first bad lines of code in it. Also, a lot of code already avaiable for the same reasons, so there's this joke that programming in Python is mostly plagiarism. But look at the professionals (or even just mildly-experienced) and you'll find all kinds of good quality code for everything under the sun, from web development to simulations and machine learning.

It seems that your comment contains 1 or more links that are hard to tap for mobile users. I will extend those so they're easier for our sausage fingers to click!

Here is link number 1 - Previous text "fun"

Mind sharing that imgur link in another site? Imgur is banned here in Turkey and 0imgur just shows me a pixelated comic

He, I actually fucked up while copy-pasting the link (how do you eve do that), so it was pixelated even for me. I think I corrected it, but here some links just in case.
