Would love to hear an honest discussion of why Django and/or Python is a bad solution for any given problem. Is it because they are old technologies? Do they lack support for something in particular? Are they too expressive/not expressive enough?

(Love django in spite of Python here)

- Imports are a mess - No control of mutation in function signatures, and in general it's still a surprise when things mutate - Slow - Types and enums have room for improvement

You just need to work around those and get used to it. Then you can build nice Python projects that keep growing - but Django really helps you do that. Python however is always going to be "10-100x" slower than something like an API written in Go, Rust and so on. That's fine in most cases.

Because assembly language or if you must go higher level, fortran exist and all the 10x coding intergalactic scalers say everything else is bad.
