Console? good, GUI? good, game dev? use Godot engine with its similar language Gdscript, but what else? Ive been seeing AI, Data Science stuff, but whats the point if ita slow?
define slow.
my life has been in C style languages but even i kniw python us a great general purpose language. are you going to use it for high frequency trading? no but most things dont need that speed.
yes its used a lot in ai but also for a ton of linuc scripting. i dont think anyone uses perl anymore.
so in what way was it slow when you used it? what micro seconds were you lookong for?
