But I can recognize an ad hominem argument when I see it. Merely attempting to illuminate the intelligible with truth.[^1] OP said "If you ultimately end up having to use c/c++/fortran native libraries and work around pretty much everything python. What is the point of using python instead of c/c++?" The answers boiled down to making it easy for people with no formal computer training to leverage C, C++, and Fortran libraries written by professionals. Hopefully that is something we can agree on.

[^1]: BTW, I am not the sun either.
