    Python is by far the fastest to write, cleanest, more maintainable programming language I know

    Maintainable? I have not ever had to work with any large Python projects, but from what I have heard, maintenance is a large pain point.

      Also fastest to write? I’d say JS or Ruby are just as fast or barely slower.

      What most people mean is that Python has great Libraries which do the thing you want without much fuss. But thats more on the libraries than on the language.

        I do not know Ruby, but Python has a lot of syntactic sugar that, if one becomes used to and proficient with it, makes writing much faster than other languages I know (including JavaScript).
