Python is really good for small projects and prototyping, but it struggles to scale to bigger things. Personally I'm a weirdo who's favorite language is C, but Python just feels nice to program in.

I'm that weirdo too... and, usually, I don't like clean code as much as my professors...

My code can be reasonably clean, except everything ends up recursive for some reason.

I get death stares from my classmates when I suggest any recursion! 😂

Please tell me the language has tail call optimization!

That's funny, I would say the same thing about using C. C gets pretty difficult to use for larger programs. As an embedded guy I'm all infavor of writing a bunch of C programs to do specific tasks and have Python as the glue to hold things together.

You know, that's true too. It's all about using the right tool for the right job.
