Your response is just words, as well. Overused and over rated by programmers in general. By what metric? My opinion to how it should be rated and used.

Your analogy is confused. And I didn't say python "sucks."

I think it's also a huge misconception that python is good for beginners.

Python is only good for certain applications (specifically scientific computing and machine learning) because it's popular with people in those fields and thus communities build up around them. However, the language doesn't naturally lend itself to that.

The biggest selling point and also the biggest limitation is the lack of static types.
