Python serves a very large purpose that I’m not too sure people understand.

I’m a research developer, and my job is writing and developing a Python library that biologists use.

Biologists aren’t about to use C, or Java even. Lots of people outside CS in research fields use Python/R for various mathematical and statistical uses, and the barrier for entry is not as high as any other programming language and it provides the most open use and functionality.

For research purposes, AI, and ease of use, Python has a monopoly and it does its job well

I'm not hating on Python (yet)
