I'll bite, which programming language should people use instead of Python?
Python is considered a programming language? I still classify it as scripting lol
That said, i'd personally use good old c/c++ or even c#/.net over python lol
Yes Python is definitely a programming language, I write in C/C++/C#/Python/Bash each language has its areas where they are best.
I prefer Python for DevOps related code and writing smaller programs/tools. You just get so much handed to you with Python's toolbox, it just makes things easier, you can use it as a scripting language or write a modular object oriented program.
I use C/C++ when performance matters and I want things to be Done right TM, and make sure to use all the help the compilers and static code checkers can give.
Python is just scripting language over C. Change my mind
cpython yes, but not ironpython or jython :-)
Literally fucking what? Python is object oriented and garbage collected, and people write production web backends in it.
