First day in introduction to programming. We were the first course to learn Python instead of Java. The whole lecture consisted only of what Python is good for and how powerful it is.
He finished with the statement: “... and in the real life, no one writes applications in Python.“

    Well maybe not applications but python can be used to extend the features of a lot applications so it's still very powerful

    @SHA-256 IMHO python is most often a better fit than any of the C languages. It is easier to maintain and faster to write, and there are not a lot of applications were speed is mission critical. I use both C and Python and like C more, but python defininatly has it advantages.

    Especially on modern computers most scripts will run fine without any huge time delays....(excluding stuff like raspberry pi)

    @SHA-256 Yeah, runtime performance is bad, but hey... Its also a great prototype language!
