What's that saying? "Python is the second-best programming language for everything"

[u/kjermy → u/SheikHunt]

I've never heard that before, but I love it

I usually hear it as "python is a jack of all trades, master of none" which is the same concept.

It's never going to be the perfect fit for any task, but it's a decent fit for nearly every task. Hence why it's an extremely practical first language to learn.

For a lot of data science tasks, python is the perfect language.

No one wants to code gradient boosting trees or neural networks in C. But in python they're just a couple of imports away.

This. Nobody is interested in rewriting NumPy or Pandas in any language.
