LLMs are leveling the developer experience and productivity in a way that makes Python's strengths almost irrelevant, while it's still suffering from bad tooling (even with uv and friends) and poor performance.

AI/ML: interfacing with C++ libraries directly (or in Rust) is now a real option. For everything else, even 5 years ago I wouldn't have used Python, now there are even fewer reasons to do so. As far as I'm concerned the remaining use cases are notebooks and one-shot scripts.
