> Programming is a tool for getting things done ...and some of those things, python isnt any good at. To be fair, it's very very good at others, but you can't argue with the points he's making. They're spot on. It turns out, people learning programming in school aren't interested in processing scientific data. They're interested in games. and showing their friends what they've made on their phones. Python is flat out bad at those things. It was never the intended purpose of python, and it's not a priority for the core team. Why not teach kids with a tool that excites them, instead of one that frustrates them?
