      The complaints "Python is slow" or "Python is unsafe" seem misguided. The point of Python isn't to be fast or safe, it's to be flexible and hackable, and to interface well with everything else. It has become successful by serving as a frontend from which to call other libraries.

      Python is more of an interface than it is a development language. It's a UX. It seems perfectly sensible that there should be different languages for machines to execute and for people to work with. The requirements are different.

          YES! Programming languages and APIs and libraries are all UXs. A lot of programmers seem unwilling to accept this. Or at least dismiss it.

          Couldn't agree more with this sentiment. That's why we need to make our libraries and APIs as friendly as possible. Mostly, they are not.

          I used to hear the term “code steering” when it comes to python driving high performance computing, maybe that description has fallen out of favor?

          Pythons are slow and dangerous. Everybody knows that.

          Python offers a lot of power that gets abused. It is easy to to. Pick the right tool for the job.
