The Python community in a nutshell: a perfect bell curve distribution where the extremes agree on the same thing for completely different reasons. The beginners think Python is good because it's easy and reads like English. The experts think Python is good because they've already optimized everything with C extensions and numpy, so performance doesn't matter anymore. Meanwhile, the midwits in the middle are having an existential crisis about GIL limitations, execution speed, and why their script takes 5 seconds to import pandas. They've learned just enough to be dangerous and just enough to be annoyed. The real kicker? All three groups are right. Python IS slow and horrible. Python IS good. It's the Schrödinger's cat of programming languages—simultaneously productive and painful until you open the performance profiler.
