> The only reason to use Python for anything more than few hundreds lines worth of utility is if you're working on a codebase that's already in Python, and even then it's debatable.
One important reason for using Python is that it almost always forces people and companies to release the source code.
I will take a shitty Python script over shitty C/Rust/Go/Java code any day for that reason ALONE.
With source code, I can fix your shitty program (and all programs are shitty--even mine). If it's compiled, that path is blocked.
