Such an overwhelming amount of perfectly good solutions are created with Python that I have trouble conceiving it as a "trash" language. Clearly it's at least good enough in many scenarios. For example, I use it for machine learning and data science professionally and I find it much more pleasant to use than alternatives in that space (e.g. Julia and R -- both have advantages over Python but have disadvantages too). It works, it doesn't confuse me, it's easy to find libraries and examples, and when it's too slow -- which is surprisingly rare -- I have other options to turn to. If that's trash then so be it; call me a raccoon because I'm there for the trash.

I'll tell you why it's trash. > Clearly it's at least good enough Trash (literal, from the dumpster) is often good enough to eat. What's your point exactly? > I find it much more pleasant to use It's a skill issue. > it's easy to find libraries and examples, This has nothing to do with the language. Give Julia 20 years of popularity, and it will have just as many useful libraries and examples.
