Don’t understand why you got downvoted. I work in a Python shop and 100% agree with you.

Look at the number of sweeping absolutes presenting their opinion as a global truth, with no supporting evidence presented.

Threads which start like that rarely end up contributing anything of value or convincing anyone who didn’t already agree with the author.

Because he say's a hammer is far better then a screwdriver, and Metal is far superior to wood.
Yeah I think my mistake is posting a response to a question about which language to use in a Python thread and not suggesting Python.

I work with Python every day and have for years and it's strengths and weaknesses are readily apparent to me but not to everyone apparently.

Try rewriting your comment like an engineering discussion than an opinion piece: share that experience with specific details about things which worked better or worse, using enough detail for anyone else to be able to decide whether your environment is enough like their own to be applicable.

Since this is a Django thread, that could be covering things about, say, why you prefer .Net forms or trade offs from various ORMs.

I think C# is a quite respectable language so you could cover, say, why its typing is more productive than something like mypy or how package management compares.
