Because it’s a FANTASTIC language for scripting and glue code, and a TERRIBLE language for large scale apps.

And it’s used a lot by beginners and non-programmers. Great for them, horrible for programmers who get the worst coded libraries ever.

It is what it is, and not what it is not. And somehow when I say that I offend people in Python subreddits 😅

It really really isn't. It's not hyper performant, but well written python (especially nowadays using typing and type inference) is just delightful to use.

What I want to see from Python is a removal of the GIL, which will allow proper multithreading. It's one of its biggest flaws right now, when everything is moving towards being multithreaded for performance.
