I constantly get low key shade for choosing to build everything in Python. It’s really interesting to me. People can’t break out of thinking, “oh, you wrote a script for that?”. Actually, no, it’s software, not a script.

99% of my use cases are easily, maintainably solved with good, modern Python. The Python execution is almost never the bottleneck in my workflows. It’s disk or network I/O.

I’m not against building better languages and ecosystems, and compiled languages are clearly appropriate/required in many workflows, but the language parochialism gets old. I just want to build shit that works and get stuff done.
