In the case of Javascript I'm speaking from both the developer and end user perspective.
But Python is just end user because I never made anything in Python.
If I take software like Weechat, Mirage, Docker, youtube-dl etc that blatantly error out on runtime just because the Python version got updated (example, from 3.8.3 to 3.8.4) while the apps themselves remain unchanged, then how is that the apps' fault for breaking?
A handful of other problems I agree with (except for the "Lacks everything" part, because again never used Python as a developer).
A) I was joking.
B) That list really fills like someone is just complaining because Python isn't C (or insert language here). That would be like me complaining that C doesn't have try-except and or lambda functions or that it takes longer to make something with C. Also, a lot of people complain about Python being slow, and it is compared to C but it is also fast enough for the user to not even notice so it really doesn't matter a lot of the time. If you make something that runs a million times a day then it is worth sinking the time to make it with something faster but if not then with Python you develop it faster and is easier to maintain which is what most companies care about.
