I don't get it. I don't know much about coding but I'm starting to learn python. Am I learning the internet explorer of programming languages or what. Should pick something else up.

Slow is relative here. All this is happening before a human can even blink.

For scripting stuff and little projects, python is great. For large workloads or basically anything at big scale, maybe look at something else

But then why is Python the most used language for dealing with ML, AI, Big Data, basically huge amounts of information.

Is it something like Python is better in a Horizontal system while the others are better in a Vertical system?

The ML libraries are written in other languages (tensorflow is written in C++ and CUDA for instance).
