I've often said that Python is a pure scripting language that people inexplicably use for "real programs" due to e.g. them absolutely refusing to resolve the build system or packaging situation and it being basically impossible to have a deterministic state without having an entire separate copy of Python for every program.
But honestly, it's shocking that it is also almost objectively impossible to use for normal scripting tasks too, because they make massive breaking changes every single minor release and no person is going to put every single individual script into a separate venv that you have to activate before running it

@nytpu@tilde.zone deprecating functionality in a minor release is a sin On the bright side, the odds are pretty good that Python will get sucked into the imminent ai bubble nucleation event “Python? You mean the one with the bubbles and the cartoon cat they used in schools?”
