Re:The Skills Gap for Fortran Looms Large in HPC by HybridCurve on Wednesday May 03, 2023 @07:31PM (#35809258)
I love perl but it is awful at signal handling. The threading and shared memory interface are not as good as other languages either.

Python has a low barrier for entry and can be useful immediately to newer programmers. It is also fairly well rounded.

That being said, I am not partial to python as OP was with fortran, and steer around it regularly.
