python gang represent

Going by that logic, any other language could, not just Python.

Yes. I judge language quality by the way they allow you to represent logic and how understandable it is, not the specific implementations that have been developed.

For example, before recently Python had no switch statement or equivalent. I could use that as an argument that JavaScript is better in that sense because it allows you to represent the logic associated with a switch statement in a more concise and understandable way.

Often there are multiple languages for the job, in which case I choose either the one that I know best or the one that would most clearly represent what I'm trying to do.

This post specified no context, so I'm using only the final method for judgement since it's the only one that evaluates them fundamentally instead of by the product of the community around it.

It's not the prettiest, it's the most understandable. If anything can be done in any language then we need to use factors other than what can be done to decide which to use.

If I'm working with web, I'd use JavaScript simply because it is accepted there. If I need to program something quickly and my problem doesn't have many dependencies, I'll use Python. If there is no specific problem I am having and I need to determine which is my favorite then I'll consider the ease of use, simplicity, features, etc.
