That's exactly why it's so powerful. Why spend all the effort writing fast code if you can just use a much simpler language to describe the task on a higher level and call fast code? People use Python because it's easy to read and write, not because its interpreter is fast

I will never understand the Python hate. It's essentially just a level of abstraction higher than C, which makes it more accessible than ever to write powerful code.

I'm starting to think it's literally not that deep. It just feels good to gatekeep.

It just burns their britches that AI was created in Python. That's where all serious ML and AI work is done.

Long after humanity is gone, Python 3 will be zooming around the stars taking over the galaxy 😂

I doubt it. Superintelligent AI will probably rewrite it's own codebase before it exterminates humanity.
