How so?
AI/ML: interfacing with C++ libraries directly (or in Rust) is now a real option. For everything else, even 5 years ago I wouldn't have used Python, now there are even fewer reasons to do so. As far as I'm concerned the remaining use cases are notebooks and one-shot scripts.
ML still has a depth of libraries that can't be replicated easily but ML work is decreasing by the day with LLMs.
Because the feedback loop of writing few lines of Python inside Jupyter cell is much shorter than with your currently favorite AI tool. It costs less too.
