Python already has a bunch of built-in libraries that make it a full-fledged scripting language. Basically, it is Node.js on steroids.

In the olden days, programmers would have to make 90% of that, alone.

Maybe this is the reason why everyone and their grandma can call themselves programmers these days.

Yes. And all this fancy 'metaprogramming' is just syntactic sugar for how one calls subroutines.

I agree: Python has Batteries Included. But additional Batteries are Optional.
