The number one reason I get for people wanting to use Python is that it is "easy to use". Apart from the fact that this is not true, it is also a fallacy that shows a complete lack of understanding of how Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) works. For any serious piece of software that makes it to production, 80% or more of the cost is in the phase after initial development. That's the phase where we run, debug, add features, and refactor. Who cares that the first 20% was twice as fast if the other 80% is a hellhole of debugging and finding problems that any compiler from the 1960s could have caught?
