I used to love Python, back when it was basically just an alternative to perl for scripting. Now it strikes fear into my heart when I encounter something largish written in Python because it usually means "super slow bloated researchy untyped ai/math code that's a nightmare to work with"

"math code" is generally using wrapped native libraries not really all that slow.

But this seems like an apples to oranges comparison. Yes, of course a few scripts are very different than "something largeish" written in Python
