  • I mean others don’t seem to have the same problem with Python as me, so if it is right for them, I can’t really complain, but I would use the following languages for the following tasks

    Scientific Computing (my main area): I prefer Julia, it is faster, feels more intuitive and feels like a modern python for scientific computing

    Web: there are many great frameworks out there, i am intrigued by phoenix for elixir

    Game Developement: Nobody use python in games to distribute for anything heavy I hope, but for scripting I would use Lua

    Learning: Python is often the first language, that people learn, and I guess that also explains it’s widespread use to some degree. I would teach something less high-level like C as a first language, although I think writing “high-level code” also has a learning curve to it.

    Scripting: Fine, I guess python is great for small scripts, although one could also use Ruby
