Why Python? I really don't understand this choice of language other than accessibility.

to me it goes beyond that. many leetcode grinders swear by specific data structures such as hashmaps, which python makes available as dictionaries.

behind the sytax, there is plenty of heavy lifting for writing sophisticated code, when need be. that surely helps with the network effect.
