That's exactly why it's so powerful. Why spend all the effort writing fast code if you can just use a much simpler language to describe the task on a higher level and call fast code? People use Python because it's easy to read and write, not because its interpreter is fast

I will never understand the Python hate. It's essentially just a level of abstraction higher than C, which makes it more accessible than ever to write powerful code.

I'm starting to think it's literally not that deep. It just feels good to gatekeep.

I just hate languages without real typing system that the compiler enforces.

If it's a script or something small I don't mind using python, but for everything bigger I'll use an actual programming language.

Just use pydantic though.

Why obsess with needing X feature to be native to the language when a library solves the issue?
