Here's a great indicator; do a search on: C++ obfuscate<br>
(we're all probably familiar with the C obfuscation challenge
contests...)<br>
<br>
Then do: javascript obfuscate<br>
<br>
Repeat for: java obfuscate<br>
<br>
Then try it with other languages of interest to you.<br>
<br>
Finally look at: python obfuscate<br>
<br>
And you'll see at the opening of the attempts described, the authors
concede that it's hard to do.<br>
I have spent decades dealing with compiled languages; python offers
one the shortest time to implement an idea without getting mired in
the resource specifics of a language like C(++). There's been a
number of times I have set about doing a compiled program, and I get
so distracted with some sideline prerequisite, for a moment I even
forget what the original task I was dealing with was!<br>
<br>
Now of course, python has overhead (in the age of 1TB disks and 8GB
RAM machines, this is less of a consideration...);<br>
it's lousy if you're going to do an iteration-intensive task.<br>
<br>
But if you know from the outset that you won't go to that place,
it's among the best in terms of readability.<br>
<br>
Perl is incredibly powerful, but requires a very conscious effort to
keep it readable.<br>
<br>
python's thought out interface to libraries compiled in other
languages also explains its following;<br>
when you tackle a task, like java, there's just a ton of libraries
that you can leverage off of...<br>

that "readability counts" and it is successful at that. Python
code is some of the most readable of any programming language.
The language also has disadvantages, of course, but its clarity
