    Python is legitimately the best language by far for the vast majority of non-performance critical tasks, and most tasks that need to be developed for are not performance critical.

      Absolutely. I don't know if it's the absolute best, but I very much agree for using a high-level language for high-level tasks. There's a reason they're designed that way—you're not burning Hertz, dang it; you're burning seconds, and you're burning them either way!

      That said, please, please don't use it for performance critical code.
