> If I'm in the business of writing Python code

The thing is, most people who are writing python code are not in the business of writing python code. They're students, scientists, people with the word "business" or "analyst" in their title. They have bigger fish to fry than learning a different language ecosystem.

It took 30 years to get them to switch from excel to python. I think it's unrealistic to expect that they're going to switch from python any time soon. So for better or worse, these are problems that we have to solve.
