Silly, Python was always second-best at everything and promoted as a prototyping language from the beginning. But that's more powerful than you've given credit for. You get extreme productivity up front, and a growing number of exit strategies for the fraction of projects that outgrow it.

FWIW, I still use Python as a prototyping language, it's just so flexible and you can model things in it in so many neat ways.

I like that formulation. Cheers!
