Heh, I was about to comment how my hot take is that Python is overrated. It’s… fine and I don’t really have anything against it for the most part, but I greatly prefer Ruby to Python.
I’m speaking purely about the language itself here, not any libraries available for it (since someone will always point out how great Python is for data work).
My impression at the time was that Ruby and Python both caught on with people who were ready to be done with Perl.
And, later, that Go set out to be a replacement for Java, but ended up with one of its major use cases being a replacement for Python for ops and SRE folks who were ready for type checking and built-in multithreading.
