Why do the hackers love python?

A hacker can be someone who puts things together without care, usually performing the work quickly with an eye for the intended behavior, not the long term survivability of the thing. Often a programmer “hacks together a prototype” or other such forms. Python is great for this early hacking period, where code is often disposable and any solution is good for now. With a giant standard library, and a packaging system that puts prebuilt tools and frameworks at your fingertips, it is often very easy to hack so

Python is also great for this kind of hacker because we have access to first in class libraries for almost every imaginable problem you need to solve. Thanks to c extensions, we’re even good at taking whatever other languages are good at making Python good at it, too, often by calling the existing code.

With a giant standard library, and a packaging system that puts prebuilt tools and frameworks at your fingertips, it is often very easy to hack something into existence. But C++ will always be best for hacking
