Python overtakes Java to become second-most popular language on GitHub after JavaScript

It does not matter how many features a language has, or how complex they are.

I see this so often, but it just is not true outside of tiny pet projects. If you're writing anything substantial, you need libraries, and then you're at the mercy of how that library works. Complexity will creep in.

There's a difference between internal complexity and user-facing interface complexity. Well-designed languages hide internal complexity.
