Python is not a new language and probably most of the people on the show, like, or who we listen to the show is are going to know that, I think. And so my number two is that Python is not compiled. Like it does get compiled down to bytecode. It happens fast enough that it can happen sort of like, you know, right before runtime without incurring too much overhead for most sizes of projects. The JVM also suffers from a thing called type of rich because it's originally based on a small talk VM, which isn't really a statically typed language.
