> By the way, even though I use Python daily for ML and some web stuff, I find Python very lacking for serious, complex projects because of the dynamic type system, bad performance, and the infamous GIL. I don't disagree re: the downsides of Python specifically, just threw it out as an example. > I find the idea that programming something in a system-level language is some kind of lost, arcane craft that shouldn't even be attempted quite perplexing. Well, some of us are self-taught developers and so system-level languages are very unapproachable. Ultimately though, seems like a simply unnecessary headache even if one would be competent in using those languages. Friends of mine with CS degrees still don't opt to do side and hobbyist projects in those languages, for example.
