I have lots of experience with node and a little with python.
Python seems great for working with large data sets and I really like jupyter notebooks. The available libraries are really great.
However, the thought of installing a Python CLI app makes me twitchy.
I suspect that node has all the same problems and that I'm used to working around them, but all the Python environment stuff is a nightmare.
Yeah, absolute nightmare of writing
pipx install programname.iykyk
Python environment/packaging sucks, but at least the language itself doesn't.
It's fine actually, all of the problemswith python packaging and env are overblown to insane degree.
yeah everyone elses experience is invalid.
