I think his point was that Python is more useful for one-off stuff and I’d claim that much better than bash at those kinds of things.

But Python has so many quirks and bad designs. Function scoped variables, multiple inheritance, backwards comprehension syntax, poor pattern matching, poor handling of None and so much is convention based so you don’t get an error if you did it wrong. Python classes aren’t serializable (not even data classes).

Coupled with it’s awful performance I’m convinced the reason people use it is because they don’t know anything else.
