Python is one of the most popular programming language around. The most praised thing about Python is it’s shorter syntax compared to other languag...

I agree with the points above, but python isn't a language I'd chose to do those things.
For me python is a great language for proxying between systems/devices. For example it's easy enough to use python to expose modbus registers in a more consumable format or when doing a diy Iot solution (esp8266's are crazy cheap and easy to make smart plugs/lamps etc). The bonus with python is it will work on most OS's without compilation, or cross compilation of the resulting software or its requirements.
Will you say C isn't good enough because it can't do ML like Python? Stop comparing Sharks with Lions. They both are great on their turf.
I don’t think they’re comparing in terms of holistic one is better than the other. They’re giving the trade offs and describing use cases that Python isn’t suited to. This is a great article and valuable showing where the language is weak.
Of course C/C++ can do ML things. But Python is glue language, where C/C++ is not.
Just a few thoughts
About the database access: agree hahahahaha
...Or assembler.
I don’t think the aim was to invalidate python but rather explain use cases where it doesn’t fit. So you both agree, it wasn’t designed for mobile development.
Indentation. I hate the "Indentation defines scope" paradigm of Python! I'd rather have the IDE beautify/indent the code rather than enforce it by having it imply scoping.
What is the biggest drawback of Python ? Let me know what do you think.
For me, that isn't strongly typed.
Uh...it is strongly typed. What it's isn't is statically typed.
