Unpopular opinion: Python is bait and switch. Naive, aspiring programmers are told to learn Python because it’s the perfect beginner language, only to quickly hit a brick wall of complication they are unable to foresee (because they’re completely new to all this) and ill-equipped navigate.

Like it or not Python is now “enterprise grade”. The sooner it either grows up and figures out packages, ci/cd, binaries etc, or it looses its reputation at a great beginner and general programming language to something like Julia or Crystal, the better.
