Sometimes one falls in love. I fell in love with C. Every time I start looking into another language, I start thinking of how many c routines it would take to achieve that single phrase, and how much overhead must be involved, and I start getting dizzy and quickly reach for my random c projects folder.
I do want to get good at NumPy some day. I like the idea that Python found a way to get so convoluted that it actually managed to conjoure vast waves of bits into actually blazing fast operations that C could never in a million years, if I understand the operation correctly, do. The whole matrix multiplicaiton ecosystem. I find that thought charming. And I do think that, beyond all the idiot-spiel, the auto-generated program paradigm now called "AI," "Machine Learning," "LLM," and other even more obnoxious titles is very impressive, and is probably only viable in Python.
But I mean. To honor the "rant" bit. Whenever a website takes ages to do stupid things I do curse Java and the undoubtedly lazy, bad, evil people that code in it. It's a joke of course, but I do think that some languages have a higher tendency to instill coding rigour and discipline than others. Sometimes, a thing being hard to code is a good thing.
