This is one of my favourite rants when people point to Instagram and bank python et al as evidence of people using Python being suitable for high performance use cases and those same posts amount to "we hired huge numbers of deep language Devs at likely huge cost to make an effectively custom version of python to partially address its baked in shortcomings". Its a very concrete example of the difference between "simple" and "easy" in software.
