[Demiurge]

That's the intended humor, they stop being Python users if they outgrow it. The language and ecosystem is growing, regardless. I've been using it professionally since 2007, and some tasks I know it is not good at, and thats when I know to use another tool. The point is that it is a tool that has its uses, and I consider it the best tool for certain categories. It doesn't need to be the best tool for all categories. That seems pretty "absolutist".

I'm not anti-Python, for what it's worth. I love Python, and part of that is because of the features that make it so slow.
