Python is especially bad at getting things up and running. Often ends up with a mix of conda and pip stuff, different python installs through pyenv or similar, some global installed version of cuda, jupyterlab etc., wheels not created for your particular platform and version of python making you have to install a whole c++ toolchain etc. It's bonkers.
