Python borrows a lot from C for its syntax and flavor and imperative style, it's not exactly like C, but it "feels" a bit like C (it's hard to explain why). Python has a lot of native things like list dict sort join etc, you need library much less often your code gets very very short. Python has some functional programming in it, which makes it even more flexible than C++ in my view. Python is just so readable with its indentation style, very few language do it like this. I even started to make a C-ish language with indent-style scoping, it's a bit difficult but I did it. Even if it's one of the slowest language out there, it's so good and simple that you realize that what matters is not the language speed, but what matters is what you write. A good and fast software must be well designed first, the language choice comes second. Python is VERY OFTEN the best choice because its simplicity lets you write better software more easily, so in my view, a language like python allows programmers to write better software. Programming language philosophy matters.
