Get real. (Or did you forget the smiley face?)
The programming language and its relative convenience
is only a portion of the picture. Any program of substance,
i.e., NOT a no-brainer, has a great deal of logic and
structure which is EXPRESSED in the language environment.
Perhaps one can write a useful and good app in a week in
Python, but not "any conceivable project" unless one's
powers of conception are severely limited.
