    The mistake was choosing a language, and afterwards searching for a use to the language you just learned.

      Among all of them at least python is the choice generically people learn when they don’t want to learn programming, just want to program stuff as a helper tool to manage data. For those, python is just fine and the learning material around is tailored to for that.

      That’s how you trick people into programming. You then see people making scripts that take days to run, but it’s fine, they’re only going to use it twice and are busy enough to be able to wait
