Easy to learn, hard to master, used for things it wasn’t created for.
Yep.
I think Python gets a point here, as it is very good at doing what it was created for.
Javascript even sucks at its stated goal.
You don't master Javascript, ever. You just become accustomed to the madness and stop caring, while sometimes doing things right.
I agree.
so, like 90% of all programming languages
what was the original goal of python?
sssssssssssssss
The goal for Python 3 was to be an all purpose language that the general population could use for their everyday computing tasks
What was it created for?
Looking nice and upsetting people.
That tracks
But they're both programming languages...
