Huh… in Python I feel like the tooling is largely missing.
Precisely, because there is generally little need for it.

All those extraneous elements to Javascript are a real turn-off. Python: batteries mostly included. Javascript: feels like you need to drag a dozen suitcases along anytime you embark on any non-trivial project.
Why is this opinion resulting in negative points? It speaks to the sentiment of the post. Happy to discuss the topic constructively.

Buffet’s simple advice for anyone wanting to invest but not sure how to start - Have at least some exposure the S&P500 for the long run. Pretty sound advice.
You realize there are entire towns and villages whose lives depend on this tourism, right? I'm not saying it's a perfect solution to fly snow in, but you can't discount the impact this has on the population if the resorts close down.
Typical human behavior to constantly seek to push their luck, past the point of sustainability. Any resource-based community, tied to a single commodity, must know it is living on borrowed time.

Love both languages. However, by the time I discovered Ruby, around 2010, I had already invested a lot of time in Python - and the Python ecosystem was already leaps and bounds ahead when it came to numerical and analysis-related libraries. But Ruby had an elegance to it and expressiveness which was a welcome change from Python and other commonly-used languages at the time. I think a lot of people had similar experiences but were already invested in a tool which came with a large collection of ready-made and tested add-ons.

The fact I have to upload to a server and my document will not be deleted for up to 24 hours, makes it a no go for most corporate users. Make this a standalone desktop app, with zero cloud dependency and it would be useful. This is very useful for a first pass through a legal doc, for example, to triage documents.
Start with a less offensive domain name if you want someone to read your precious thoughts.
Maybe in numbers - not in any other way that actually matters. Canada is a trainwreck in motion.
How is it a train wreck? Are you alluding to some mis-informed view of its politics, or some aspect of its tech industry? Not clear from your comment, I’m not looking to start an argument.

Excel is still a killer app. Microsoft has undermined it for decades. it’s a shame.
