I'm at a point where I think I would turn down any job offer that required me to do anything with python (even just the occasional change). I don't have the time or energy to fight with my tooling and environment that much

It's really a shame that data science, ML, and notebooks are so wrapped up in it. Otherwise we could jettison the whole thing into space

Same. I was at an AI startup that used python for everything and it was so bad. Even worse since it was AI engineers writing a lot of the main app code too.

Although I personally feel Python has its place, I contribute to a project that hopes to diversify the ML/scientific computing space with a TypeScript tensor lib called Shumai: https://github.com/facebookresearch/shumai
