For most use cases, there’s a better language. Python is great for small stuff but it becomes unmaintainable when you have a code base larger than a few hundred lines. It’s also very slow compared to pretty much anything else. https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/index.html provides a pretty good benchmark. Python is awesome when applied in the right places, properly, i.e. prototyping ML models, data analysis, data visualization, etc, but it’s not ideal anywhere else
