You might be looking at the wrong language for that. Can I interest you in some Java instead? Do you want it to Go?

  > You might be looking at the wrong language for that. You’re right, Python is not a simple language at all. Yet that’s how it’s widely perceived - I’m not sure why.

    Because it's easy to get started with and the complexity that you're exposed to increases with your experience and technical needs instead of being frontloaded. This isn't the same as being simple but it's understandable how the two can be confused.

    Perhaps because it's relatively easy to get started?

    Because it was simple for a long time, then it became very popular and you have to listen to the idiots.
