Python is the first programming language I've ever used. I wrote my first "Hello, world" with it back in 2010. At the time, I didn't have an apprecation for what Python was capable of, and I ultimately became discouraged and spent more time writing TI-BASIC prgrams to help me cheat on my Physics exams. Since then I have tried picking Python back up multiple times, and for whatever reason, I've had a hard time getting it to stick. I prefer Javascript/TypeScript for developing web applications, but in ML, Python just can't be beat. I've gotten a lot more used to Python as a tool in my belt, but if I'm not doing something ML-related, I probably wouldn't choose to use it!
