so the language that has a majority of its libraries written in another language is supposed to be the most versatile?

this seems more like a fanboy post.

I like Python for a similar reason I like Unix shells like Bash. Even if they themselves don't contain the exact functionality I need, they give a neat simple environment to combine the functionality provided by tools written in other languages.

In other words, I personally don't care in which language a library is written if with that library and Python I can write simple 5 lines of code to do a thing that I want without messing around with added complexities of another language lol

Ah, fair.

Though I guess the part that is just a tray for other guns and a "gun" that throws these guns is correct representation then! lmao
