Well, that's the curse of machine learning: since everyone uses Python you have to deal with Python. Even though Python isn't very nice when things start to get serious and you don't want to spend your time fiddling with noise just to make something work at scale.

I'd wish the ML/AI/LLM crowd would see that it is in their interest to get better developer ergonomics at scale. (I don't want to have to turn to C++)
