I do backend web server development using FastAPI/Starlette and Django.

If I were a Ruby developer, I'd be using Rails, and I'd also be describing 90% of Ruby development.

However, I do Python. What I'm describing is a tiny fraction of Python development.

If you want to do something with computer code - data analysis, ML, web development, duct-taping together parts of a #NIX system, even some game development - you can do it reasonably well, if not better, in Python. The paths that you can take are limitless, and that gets people interested.

There's the pithy saying that "Python is the second-best language for anything", and that's kind of its superpower.

If you are trying to do Ruby but fast you're supposed to use Crystal
