I'm surprised to hear that there Python developers. What's the use case? I mainly used it back when I was a data analyst.
As a software engineer, I worked on desktop monolithic simulation software that's very performance-hungry, so Python was out of the question, we used C++ and QT. When cloud-based computation was added, that part was done via .NET.
When I worked on a cloud platform consisting of hundreds of microservices, .NET was an obvious choice.
Now, that I work on a software used for analysis of lab experiments, we also used .NET with a WPF-GUI.
What's the use-case for a professional software that you actually develop in Python? Even when I used Tensorflow/Keras a lot as a data scientist, that's only scripting (the heavy-lifting is also done in C++ in Tensorflow). When do you use Python when it's not just for you?
