It seems like a lot of criticism of Python is directed at the data science community but I'm curious what the alternative is here?

Is it surprising people trained in math are writing hard to maintain programs? Is biology+Perl any better (I'd argue worse).

What languages exist that are hard to write bad code in? I've worked at places that rewrite abominations of Java every 5 years because they are such coupled, unmaintainable messes.

JPMC has Athena and Pinterest seem firmly committed to Python. I know some people that worked at Braintree (now part of PayPal) that heavily used Python

Home Assistant and Ansible are two massive OSS projects
