Yeah, I think you’re right — Python really shines in many areas.

Honestly, a lot comes down to the person, the kind of problems they solve, their mindset… and sometimes, their scars.

I don’t even fully know why Python didn’t click with me. I understood it. I saw how fast it can be. But for some reason, I kept drifting back to C.

Maybe it’s just how my brain works. Maybe it’s where I found meaning. Hard to explain.

Ultimately, there are no right and wrong programming languages (except Visual Basic, lol, or maybe PHP 3). Sometimes a language is wrong for a specific project, but there’s nothing wrong with any particular language preference. I find it hilarious that there have been flame wars over the topic. So if you ultimately find more meaning or enjoyment in writing C code… sure, it’s not for everyone, but it’s awesome that you’ve figured out what you like!

It’s true — programming languages spark some of the fiercest debates. Everyone wants to defend the one that speaks to them.

That’s why it’s been such a pleasure having this kind of conversation — thoughtful, respectful, and grounded. Thanks again. I’ve really enjoyed it.
