Content C, do you ever get sad about not. having boolean variables? Python, that's just silly. Who needs booleans, when integers are so much better! Huh! How would you know, anyway? Fine. Let's ask Java. Java. wnica co vourink are better, bools or ints? Geez, that's a hard one. Come on Java, you must know! You have both types! Well. Sorry, guys... just can't compare them.

The classic Python trade deal that no developer can refuse! Your beefy 16-core CPU thinking it's about to crush some serious computation, only to have Python's Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) say "that's cute" and proceed to use exactly ONE core. It's like buying a Ferrari and being told you can only use first gear. Sure, Python is easy to write and wonderfully readable, but when it comes to true parallelism, it's basically that friend who invites 15 people to dinner then makes them watch while they eat alone.

The language wars are getting brutal! C# thinks adding a number to a string makes "a1" because it's doing string concatenation. Python's like "that's not valid syntax, you fool!" Meanwhile, C is just sitting there with its empty string result because it's adding the ASCII value of 'a' (97) to 1, getting 98 (which is 'b'), but then comparing it to an empty string, which is... definitely not what anyone wanted. This is why we can't have nice things in cross-language teams.
