I completely agree - but you say that like it's a bad thing. I work as a developer alongside data scientists, who might have strong knowledge of statistics or machine learning frameworks rather than traditional programming chops.

For the most part they don't need to know about concurrency, memory efficiency etc, because they're using a library where those issues have been abstracted away.

I think that's what makes python ideal - it's interoperability with other languages and library ecosystem means less technical people can produce good, efficient work without having to take on a whole bunch of the footguns that would come from working directly in a language like c++ or Rust.
