> In ten years time people will most probably look in horror at their python software stacks tech debt that they have to maintain for the business continuity.

I regret to inform you that there are _loads_ of multi-decades-old Python stacks at this point.

On the micro level I'll be like "ugh wish I wasn't paying the costs of Python" decently enough. But on the macro level I don't regret Python stacks. At least not when looking at the alternatives.

Tho I will admit I'm a bit mystified at data science stuff in particular persisting in Python. Lots of CPU churn even if the underlying libs are all C extensions.
