It's astonishing how the Python ecosystem is fucking quicksand even worse than Javascript is. I have not yet encountered a nontrivial Python program that still functioned after not being maintained for literally <6 months.

Like holy shit, the language breaks incessantly so it's literally impossible to have older programs just installed globally (or have a script dropped in ~/bin/, etc.) rather than needing to use a developer environment like venvs for every single individual program; and the library ecosystem is even worse with constant breakages (even with pinned semver versions, devs will seemingly go out of their way to obliterate packages off of repos so they can't be downloaded anymore, or deliberately make breaking point releases)

Zig is still being developed so they have an excuse when they break every unmaintained program every six months, what's Python's excuse?
