> not just throwing more vCPUs at an unoptimized Python loop.
I've got the strong feeling that most of the Python frameworks, stacks and codes in operation of our generation will be the technical debts of the future computer world.
The fact that Python was meant primarily as both learning language (ABC legacy) and glue language (akin of scripting but not for building) make the Python based systems and solutions the duct tapes of the 21st century computing [2].
[1] ABC (programming language):
Do you feel the same about Python's contemporaries—Ruby, JS, Perl, PHP?
More generally it seems a condemnation of any language that runs in either an interpreter or a VM which might even include Erlang and Java as well.
