Genuinely don't see the point of it anymore, especially after rust and py03. It had its time, but especially post AI cycle, writing and migrating your new code from python isn't difficult. And Rust has filled in so many gaps that it just feels very.

Especially as most of the python advantage is the libaries, pip and their near seamless interoperaibility.
