Sure, python is easy. But have you tried package management in python versus other languages?
I remixed the meme: https://lemmy.world/post/19849935
Having come from the world of C++, this was a huge step up.
pip is legit trash when trying to update modules
I started using Python ~15 years ago. I didn't go to school for CS.
Compared to using literally anything else at the time as a beginner, pip was the best thing out there that I could finally understand for getting third party code to work with my stuff, without copy paste... on Windows.
When I tried Linux, package managers and make were pretty cool for doing C/C++ work.
Despite all that, us "regular" engineers were consigned to Windows.
We either had to use VBA or a runtime that didn't need to be installed.
