Okay screw it, I was always a python hater but I'm just gonna admit it:

I LOVE PYTHON!

It's so nice for quick scripts 😌

@jestdotty For very simple things yes, but even with AI any more complex thing is just a disaster ;-;

Python the language is fine. Python the ecosystem sucks. Though I haven't tried out uv yet.

I find Swift for quick scripts much better than Python.

You might think that it’s because I‘m more familiar with Swift, duh.

But I‘m also more familiar with C# than with Python and C# sucks for scripts. I‘d prefer Python there.

Swift already has a beautiful and brief syntax which makes it great for scripting.

LOL for scripts I still use LISP and Perl...

@jestdotty bash is super useful but I'd argue it's just a bit too hard to write really really simple intuitive code in Bash for some of the most basic things like creating objects, handling errors, string manipulation without regex, math beyond integers, heck even just if-statements.
