Python just doesn’t scale. Th language isn’t typed enough to be safe in a large program. Eventually you will iterate over a string or access an attribute of None. And the runtime is too slow. SRE at Google years ago banned new projects in python because the incredible slowness of the tools was extending the time to repair outages.
