Also fastest to write? I'd say JS or Ruby are just as fast or barley slower.

What most people mean is that Python has great Libraries which do the thing you want without much fuss. But thats more on the libraries than on the language.

I do not know Ruby, but Python has a lot of syntactic sugar that, if one becomes used to and proficient with it, makes writing much faster than other languages I know (including JavaScript).

Ruby has enough syntactic sugar to give you type 2 diabetes honestly.

i’m proficient in all 3, and i can say with great certainty that generally python is far faster to write

certainly when you’re talking about JS rather than TS, and achiving a usable outcome rather than bashing together bug-ridden trash
