Please do not use Python for tooling

I have my share of criticism of Python but this article doesn’t make sense. Uses a lot of vague terminologies and are largely more personal opinion and less example driven. You can replace Python with any programming language here and you won’t need to replace anything else for the article to convert into that other language based one.
