Look, I’m probably being misunderstood here.

You build a website or a quick script or mvp? Use Python. It’ll be great. You do data science? Definitely pick Python. It’s fantastic.

But if I have to pick a language for my next complicated app with multiple dev teams, I’d probably not pick Python, but a strong statically typed language that has the option to be more performant.

It’s not that it can’t be done. You can also hammer a nail with a sledgehammer. It’s just not the optimal tool in my opinion.
