dog slow and inefficient and I'm amazed its used as a key language for AI

(and not only there; it's ubiquitous, it seems)

development - not traditionally a newbie coder area - when in that application
speed really is essential. Yes it generally calls libraries written in C/C++
but then why not just write the higher level code in C++ too?

Because of its simpler syntax and less syntactical ballast compared
to C++?
