I was so certain this would be an article about how incompatible python versions, pip and python virtual environment shenanigans have crippled a generation of software engineers, in which case I would heartily agree - I honestly feel like python enthusiasts are all suffering a form of stockholm syndrome.

I've only recently (the past couple of years) begun to develop in python and I find the language (and its opinionated conventions) mostly fantastic, but the tooling is obnoxiously painful and I've spent far more time fighting to get programs installed and running than I have actually coding them.

As for the actual content of this article: I've spent most of my past forty years on this planet programming in a wide variety of languages and paradigms, and I thoroughly disagree with every single point made against python (including performance, because context really matters).
