Yes. As a non-Python programmer, I sometime had to make software or dependencies in Python works. It was always a long steps of installing some package manager, setting up virtual environment, running another package manager, etc. And of course, it failed at some point before the all thing was working.

On the contrary, I seldom had these kind of issues with projects coded in C#, C or C++: most of the time the few steps to compile the project succeeded and produced a usable binary.

Really? With a decade long experience with C# I have never found the nuget package manager to be superior to pip. I don’t think nuget is necessarily worse either, but there are so many abandoned packages that died with some .Net version. Which means you’re either building your own extensions or abandoning packages.

As far as virtual enviroments go, I actually kind of like them. They were containers before containers became a thing, and I’ve had much fewer issues with them than say NPM, but they are more burdensome than adding full binaries to your C# project.

Where compiled languages shine, and maybe I’m misunderstanding you, is when you need to distribute and executional to end-usere. C# is much better at that than Python, but we haven’t actually done that at my shop, in around 10 years.
