Is anyone else sick of seeing "yet another" Python tool? Python is so slow and irrelevant by so many standards nowadays...
Fully prepared to be downvoted for these because I am all too aware of Python's (IMO) undeserved popularity, but the facts are clear: Python lags in performance against nearly any other "backend" or "scripting" language (compare to C, C++, C#, Go, Rust, and many more)
My reasoning: every day I see stack overflow filled with repetitive Python questions, and random finance furus talking about their cool data analysis tools, all in Python, all with poor performance and hacked together with god knows how many libraries.
The problem is indeed because Python is so accessible: anyone who can write Python doesn't know enough about computing in general to even know what the concept of performance is, let alone risks of relying on 1903287012 libraries to get the job done.
Hell, I know half a dozen companies still using Python 2... jeez

Thanks for coming to my TED rant.
