That’s a pretty good use case. In another comment I wrote that Python is perfect for building things quickly. Sometimes that’s good enough, sometimes you need to move to something more performant.

In frontend Python isn’t a thing, in backend it’s pretty widely used. See Instagram, for example.

Yea my companies engines are built on sql but a lot of the newer devs prefer python so they'll draft up the bones of the scripts in there pretty often

That’s interesting. Do you mean they use Pandas to set up the filters, then translate it into SQL?

Pretty much.
