This is literally any other programmer when I use Python for a project, telling me to switch to their preferred language instead because "Python is just for scripting."

What a shame. Python is so awesome for so many cases.

Highfive! It is, and part of the reason I use it so often is because I just enjoy programming in it. I feel like enjoying the process is important even if the result is a fraction of a second slower than if I had used another language, because enjoying the process means I'm actually going to get the thing done.

Indeed. It doesn't have to run fast if we are talking applications where performance isn't important.
