    Reason I started using Python. C takes too much effort, Excel VBA is nut over 100 lines. Matlab or Python would be the next step. Matlab is nuts too in many ways.

      I started doing CS50 way back when and pretty much bailed when it got to C. I could understand it but it felt like I had to build the entire universe to do the simplest of things.

      I like that with Python I can knock something together quickly enough to justify the time it takes. Having to do something manual and repetitious at work? Knock out a Python script to make it less error prone in future. If it took a lot of time I’d just have to suck it up and suffer through.
