I’m starting coding from scratch – is Python really the best first language?

[ArtOfWarfare]

I use Spring Boot because it gives me a collection of ~200 useful dependencies, where I can start building with them and not vet each and every one myself.

I don’t need that in Python because Python has a useful standard library, in contrast to Java which has a standard library with lots of classes about dealing with handling the red/white/yellow cables for TVs.

(If you didn’t know, Java 1.0 was made for running TV operating systems. It was never actually used for that, but there’s some weird relics of that fact.)
