This feels like the time I was a Mercurial user before I moved to Git.

Everyone was using git for reasons to me that seemed bandwagon-y, when Mercurial just had such a better UX and mental model to me.

Now, everyone is writing agent `exec`s in Python, when I think TypeScript/JS is far better suited for the job (it was always fast + secure, not to mention more reliable and information dense b/c of typing).

But I think I'm gonna lose this one too.

Python has the advantage that everybody sort of knows it is bad and slow, which is an important trait for a glue language. This increases the incentive to do the right thing: call a library written in C or Fortran or something.

It might be slow, but it is definitely not bad. In the contrary, it is a great language. The closest to pseudocode you can get in a mainstream.
