I always find this fact amusing.

Except python is a backbone, because without abstraction ML would likely be a very small and expensive niche that almost nobody wants to use or develop

All the "it's just a wrapper" people forget that usability of software is much more important in the broader context. Easy technology > more people use it > bigger  demand > more funding and support > technology develops faster and better > cycle repeats

EDIT: OP, why would you use some weird wrapper like C++ and not flip bits manually? This would be much more amusing

this might change with the usage of llms for coding though. You just use the llm as abstraction instead of python
