| The bloated standard library is the only reason I kept using python in spite of the packaging nightmare. I can do most things with no dependencies, or with one dependency I need over and over like matplotlib If python had been lean and needed packages to do anything useful, while still having a packaging nightmare, it would have been unusable |

| The bloated standard library is the reason why you can send around a single .py file to others and they can execute it instantly. Most of the python users are not able nor aware of venv, uv, pip and all of that. |

| It's because Ruby captured the web market and Python everything else, and I get everything is more timeless than a single segment. |
