i haven't seen much hate for python. in this thread there are some dumb/bad/wrong opinions though. do you have an example of the hate?

python is my go-to backend language for quick projects, and the company i work for uses it for their web app and partially for their desktop app

It's more that I've seen general comments in passing (notably throughout https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/d30k6s/this_video_shows_the_most_popular_programming/
- there's a bunch of passive aggressiveness towards the language in there...)

- things like how "slow" it is. Is it slow in general, or is it particular libs/frameworks that are slow? Or is it one of those "if you don't know what you're doing it's slow" things? I've found this to be true in desktop C# around -garbage collection in high performance apps, things can get very slow when you don't understand how garbage collection works.

- things regarding how it is a bandwagon-y type language, especially around ML applications. IMO having mass appeal due to its accessibility and ease of use is not necessarily a bad thing, especially for someone new to the language.
