 Interesting to see the rise of python.  Probably AI related.  We have also lost a whole generation of coders to Microsoft TypeScript, and Facebook React.  The original non-corporate web is much under rated.  Nostr is a web sub-protocol, and shows what can be done with the web, if you want it enough.

 I have only learned to program in python. It is the first programming language I used where I could actually make a functional program quickly. Actually being able to get results that I wanted really motivated me to keep learning. I am not a professional Dev, but I have pushed multiple projects to github. Some of them AI related, most of them not.

I understand that it's slow, and I understand why, but I can still make anything that I can imagine in python. That's why I use it.
