> Thankfully these days Cloud Native Python apps are built around less monolithic options such as Flask, Pyramid, or Tornado.

FastAPI is also a very popular choice these days, arguably more so than Pyramid and Tornado.

Slightly off-topic: How do I delete all sorts of Python installations from various kinds of tools (pyenv, asdf, conda etc.) and just have the system one (on Arch Linux)?

One thing I didn't see mentioned is profiling. I'm really interested in the recently released Scalene tool: https://pypi.org/project/scalene/, which seems to be a top contender to replace all the previous tools.

In general: Find executables named `python` that aren't Arch's default and delete their related hierarchies?

Although subjectively the look on Windows 10 seems a bit better than on previous versions, it still feels a bit ancient. So you may ask what's the point: if you create a GUI in 2021 you will probably want it to look modern and attractive. Even a modern TUI interface may look better.

This doesn't say a lot about the current state of Python. It's just a list of the libraries that the author happens to know. Presented not in list form.

A couple notable omissions:

Guido now works at Microsoft.

pybind11 is probably the latest and greatest for C++ interop.

I use scalene, it's great. py-spy is good too for more real-time use
