alternative joke

C++: "Hey, what's your name?"
Python: *grabs C++* "what is my name?"

Pythons weak typing means it never knows what is what. It’s up to the programmer to not screw it up.

I think it's more that a ton of popular python libraries (things like pandas, tensor, etc) are actually built in C, so python is just C wearing a mask

Not just libraries, the entire language itself is actually C under the hood

not really what i was going for

one of python's strong suits is it's foreign function interface. it's very easy to call code in other languages from python, which can speed execution up significantly

One of the main implementations of Python is CPython, which is written in C or C++
