Idk why such noob stuff is upvoted on HN.

The only thing this tells you that you should try to avoid a billon nested loop iterations in python. In case you didnt know.

On the other hand I would also see python as a bit questionable for bigger procejts, just because at some point a type system does more help than harm. But I have never really worked with pythons type extension so nowadays even this might be good enough.

Most people seem to agree with my "hot" takes. Why should I invest so much time for a random comment? I just clarified what are the limits of my opinion.

On the other hand it doesn't seem you read the article? It is mostly focused on performance, which often shouldnt be the main focus when selecting the language. And even if you need performance (e.g. data science) it can be very fast if you source out the billion iterations to a library.

The article did talk about maintainability issues with Python as well.
