&gt; What is simple and clear about Python? .. it&#x27;s really a pretty complex language with a deep ecosystem<p>Here&#x27;s a helpful video from Feynman that kinda explains it: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=YaUlqXRPMmY" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=YaUlqXRPMmY</a><p>Python language (ditto Perl, Ruby..) uses Babylonian approach, while the languages with more fundamental building blocks (like say Scheme, Haskell..) are more like Greek approach.<p>So Python it is not simpler as a language per se, but it is simpler to mold onto the problem. At least that&#x27;s my explanation why people (myself included) like to use it, despite well understanding there are more elegant (mathematically) languages out there.
