And like things made out of duct tape, I’ve never found anything made using python that actually functioned well.

Did it function well enough for your purposes?

Because I don't need it to be hermetically-sealed perfection, I just need my python code to spit out a good result when I throw it at a problem; nevermind that it took a few seconds to spin up or needs more memory than a perfectly crafted C program.

Most python apps don’t function well enough for my purposes.

Then you have bizarro purposes, because Python is in production all over the world, in business critical, billion at stakes, systems...

Or maybe you just have very low standards.

[coldtea]

What part of "business critical, billions at stake, systems" conveys "low standards"?

And if Google, Amazon, NASA, etc (all places where Python is used heavily), are not high enough for you, what exactly are your standards?

[centimeter]

> what exactly are your standards

Not dog shit. Just because you can make money slinging dog shit doesn’t make it good
