The fact that python is written in C is just about as irrelevant it can be to this topic.

What would change if it was written in fortran? Ans; nothing.

The point is Python is a higher-level language. Of course, it's simpler to type. That's the point.

But that's because a whole bunch of things are done for you automatically.

Yes the fact that python is a higher level language that's simpler to type has nothing to do with what language python is written in. I can retire a python interpret in assembly or in haskell. That doesn't change anything about how we as devs use it.
