Although, that would assume that companies don't already trend towards doing so

Doesn't look that bad, I would eat it

You might be thinking of cubic zirconium, which is another replacement for diamond. That one is softer, but my understanding is that it's still quite difficult to scratch

There's a difference, I feel. When you are the one in danger, you shouldn't joke about it, since nobody else can tell if it's meant to be a joke or if it's meant to be serious.

If you are an observer, I think it's still awkward to joke about it, but at least it's clear that it's meant to be a joke

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
