For the longest time (relatively speaking), I would do full stack Javascript (like the meme). But I have to frequently tie into AD/LDAP and the only decent NodeJS library for LDAP is no longer maintained because the community was shitty to the dev. Now I've had to venture out into Go (I can't stand working in Python).

Let this be a reminder to be nice to the developers who are giving you their hard work for free.

From someone just learning Python, what's wrong with Python?

Python is extremely high level and slow. Great for scripting and prototyping but you really shouldn't build any infrastructure off of it.

It also has dynamic variable typing, which depending on your use case (see above), can either be nice or a headache
