*What if [pseudocode](pseudocode.md) was actually code?*
Python (name being a reference to Monty Python) is an exceptionally [bloated](bloat.md), extremely popular [high level](abstraction.md) [interpreted](interpreter.md) [programming language](programming_language.md). Its priority is readability and making it easy and fast to bash together some code for anyone with at least one brain hemisphere, so it is eminently popular among beginners, children, [women](woman.md), non-programmers such as scientists and unqualified [soydevs](soydev.md) who can't handle real languages like [C](c.md). Python [just werks](just_werks.md) and is comfortable, but any program written in it is doomed to be bloated, slow, ugly, big and will unavoidably die without [maintenance](maintenance.md) for Python's updates purposefully break [backwards compatibility](backwards_compatibility.md). At this moment it is the language most frequently used for programming "neural net [AI](ai.md)s".

Its priority is readability and making it easy and fast to bash together some code for anyone with at least half a brain hemisphere, so it is eminently popular among beginners, children, [women](woman.md), non-programmers such as scientists and unqualified [soydevs](soydev.md) who can't handle real languages like [C](c.md).

**Python is extremely slow**, even much slower than [JavaScript](javascript.md) and [PHP](php.md) (according to *Computer Language Benchmarks Game*). If you want to make your python programs faster, use the *PyPy* implementation over the default *CPython*.
@ -24,6 +24,6 @@ What follows is a summary of the python language:
- Quite retardedly **indentation is part of syntax**, that's a [shitty](shit.md) design choice that complicates programming (one liners, minification, compact code, [code golf](golf.md), temporary debugging indentation, ...).
- There is **no specification** per se -- but at least there is online reference (*The Python Language Reference*) that kind of serves as one.
- It has a **gigantic standard library** which handles things such as [Unicode](unicode.md), [GUI](gui.md), [databases](database.md), [regular expressions](regex.md), [email](email.md), [html](html.md), [compression](compression.md), communication with operating system, [networking](network.md), [multithreading](multithreading.md) and much, much more. This means it's almost impossible to implement Python in all its entirety without 100 programmers working full time for at least 10 years.
- There are many other **smaller fails**, e.g. inconsistent/weird naming of built-in commands, absence of switch statement (well, in new versions there is one already, but only added later and looks kinda shitty) etc.
