Python is the best "glue" language I've ever used. When you want to chain together your program's high-level logic and all of the loops happen inside lower-level languages like Rust, Go, Zig, D or C, Python's performance is perfectly adequate and it's so clear and concise it reads like pseudocode.

As long as you do all your lookups with dicts or sets performance is pretty decent for smaller workloads.

Python is secretly a functional-paradigm language. If you're not making liberal use of comprehensions instead of loops (especially loops with LBYL conditions in them), you're doing it wrong.

Even worse when you look at a class that’s over 1k long.
