Jack of all trades, master of none.
The article has a silly premise - I don't know anybody who would claim it's a great programming language. For the moment, it's just the most practical in certain areas (notably data science and machine learning.)
- Stubb 7y agoPython's power comes from the fantastic array of libraries to which it provides access. Much of my Python coding involves stringing together calls to SciPy, Matplotlib, lxml, and the like. It's a super productive language so long as you don't need multithreaded performance.
- FpUser 7y agoToo bad you can not use it to write those libraries ;)
