Reason I started using Python. C takes too much effort, Excel VBA is nut over 100 lines. Matlab or Python would be the next step. Matlab is nuts too in many ways.
I started doing CS50 way back when and pretty much bailed when it got to C. I could understand it but it felt like I had to build the entire universe to do the simplest of things.
I like that with Python I can knock something together quickly enough to justify the time it takes. Having to do something manual and repetitious at work? Knock out a Python script to make it less error prone in future. If it took a lot of time I’d just have to suck it up and suffer through.
Fair enough, it read to me as a “gotcha” (as in “if python is do great then why can’t it…”). I’ve spent too much time on places like Reddit where every interaction is three seconds from becoming a knife fight!
Good thing python only gets used for small stuff then /s
…and people use MS Excel as a database, it’s not the fault of the tech that people force things to do things they’re not designed for.

You seem to think I’m saying python shouldn’t be used at when all I said was it increases development time for projects at scale.
