@StarkRG@myside-yourside.net I think, though, that Python probably has a much larger community of active users with a "deep" understanding of the language, owing to the fact that Python is just that much easier to learn, and therefore, will have that many more users.
"Deep" in quotes cause the whole point of Python is to not make you think too deeply at first, or ever, if you don't want to. C/C++ you need to do some understanding in order to make good use of em.

@jpaskaruk@growers.social I've dipped my toe into python. I wrote a script to plot a bunch of data points (I ended up learning R to do all the heavy lifting and just used python to generate the visual). My experience was less than stellar. I know there's no accounting for taste and all, but it just really didn't feel all that friendly to me. I kept thinking that I should be learning something else instead. Like maybe Rust.
