    True, Python has a very big userbase and a lot of cool libraries and is nice to quickly hack something together.

    Though the title of the post is

    If you had to choose one programming language that you had to use for the rest of your life, what would it be?

    So TMU I want to predict the future in a way that it positively affects me, and find a language that fulfills this role best (throughout the stack, so that I’m not limited). And honestly I wouldn’t want to touch Python with a long stick, if the project is moderately complex (and isn’t easily off-loadable to native libraries that Python builds upon) and say > 5000 LOC, the super dynamic nature of python is a curse in this regard.
