Sure, but it does get compiler behind the scenes to pyx files.
Python is basically (IMO) C/C++ made easy.
Billions of libraries, works on even obscure hardware, simple syntax, no compiling(it’s behinde the scene and just like always works) or linking etc. etc. etc.
Edit: this implies that C/C++ is the best language ever of course. Let the flame wars begin!
I feel you, I don’t know a single person using SFR(mobile mostly but also internet access) who hasn’t had ridiculous problems with them.
Free has never let me down (static IP, port forwardings etc), or ofc OVH if you go the more “pro” way.
Bonne weekend !
Yeah but a “good language” isn’t some obscure, “better on the paper” language or some popular one, but one that has a large community, and not only in amateur circles.
That’s why C/C++ is so hated but also so much used. Python is way easier but has the userbase and the libraries. If you don’t need the speed, or memory management, you can do about anything with python.
Maybe Rust will take the place one day, or typescript, or kotlin, or JavaScript, or “insert new killer language” …
Python is used by the research community, and by a whole slew of companies since a long time. You have a problem? You’ll find the solution quickly.
Dealing with large projects? Go with C/C++ then ;-) I mean it’s all about architecture.
