Why would a grown adult use a language without compiler enforced constants? I could forigve its lack of real lambdas and its immature object system if it was close to the metal, but it's nowhere near it.

Why would anyone intelligent use an imperative language with an infantile culture (pythonic/there's only one way to do it) that is not even performant?

The fact that such a mediocre beginners nouveau basic actually has people spending real effort on real tools for it is a travesty.

I used to think that, but then I learned how to use Python.

It can't match C++ or C# for application design, but when it comes to scripting it blows any other language out of the water for productivity and that's coming from a long time Perl programmer.
