From what? It would be useful to mention towards the front of the post so we know what is the context in which you approach python.

I've switched to python primarily (from perl) in early 2010s (I think my first "seriously" used version was 2.6. This is mostly for system management, monitoring, and data transformation /visualisation. Nothing fancy like AI back then in a work setting.

I found the biggest impact was not so much on writing code but on it remaining readable for a very long time, even if it was created hastily "just get this working now" style. Especially in a team.

Python is still one of my favourites and the first tool I reach if bash is not enough for what I'm trying to do.
