Python: The Documentary [video]

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"

Python was similar for me after learning Perl and some C in highschool. During university I used Python 2 on and off. It was amazing during that era and what I could build.

Then came Python 3 and it just never felt the same. PyQT projects faltered. Deps split. Strings broke.

However I started using Nim a few years back which has given me that Python 2 feeling – except with static types, better overall language design, meta-programming, and performance!

And except tooling, ecosystem, documentation and practical real-world application.
