I don't agree.

The problem is simply that Python encompasses a MUCH larger space with "package management" than most languages. It also has been around long enough to generate fairly deep dependency chains.

As a counterexample, try using rust-analyzer or rust-skia on a Beaglebone Black. Good luck. Whereas, my Python stuff runs flawlessly.

What many newer languages do is precompile the happy paths(x86, x86-64, and arm64) and then hang you out to dry if that's not what you are on.
