People are often introduced first to Python by way of scripting
I don't believe this is true, and I don't believe it's been true for quite some time.
First encounters with Python now tend to be via frameworks, whether for web development, machine learning, data science or automation.
- diminoten 8y agoIt was true recently enough ago that the people writing Python code professionally were introduced to Python from a scripting entrypoint. For non-programmers, I think it's definitely still true that "scripting" is their primary use case for Python, and when those non-programmers shift into software development jobs because they have "3 years experience" with Python, they bring all of their bad habits with them.
