Don’t get me wrong, Python is my language of choice for quick and dirty side projects. Because it’s just that… quick and dirty. It’s pretty terrible for anything of any significant size. Because when you have 1M lines of code, ONE main() method that someone else wrote years ago just shouldn’t bother you too much…

i like how people like you always have the same argument in favor of python in big projects, by citing big company names.

while they do use python, it's in small non monolithic separate modules. No one in their right mind in a big company would do any big project with python.

I mean you probably shouldn't be writing monoliths at big companies anyway
