Python is not a fully functional language. The GIL means it cannot run parallel threads. A bug in the shared memory class took years to fix and meant shared memory was useless. I could go on, but there are so many libraries that are amazing and people can be very productive.

The World’s Largest Raspberry Pi Cluster has arrived at its new home at @UCSBengineering 🖖
Just started building a new wearable Raspberry Pi cluster that when done will be the world’s largest at 1,111 Raspberry Pi in literal vertical hat. Balancing will be accomplished with gyroscopes and it will be powered with a Tesla Power Wall worn as a backpack.
