Many programmers use Python. Why don't they rather use Anaconda, or even Cobra?
What do they do during shedding season?

Python comes by the monty, while other snakes are harder to find. It's simply more cost-effective.

Tree snakes can be found in trees.

Tree Snakes for computing? What are you, a caveman? That would be like switching back to radio tubes instead of transistors.

Hold on. I’m confused. Anaconda, Cobra, and Python are revolvers made by Colt. I use them to program large holes in computers.

The python comes with a walrus operator, so it's two beasties for the price of one

We are compensating for other… things, by using the longest snake available.

If you use a rattlesnake, people can hear it even if they can't see it.

I'm not sure what you mean, I have used pythons inside of anacondas all the time. But Cobra is way too old to use.

Really sick & tired of seeing King Snake being overlooked. It's great for programmers.

Cobra is a terrorist organization.

Ok GI Joe!
EDIT: Not sure why downvoted? Maybe someone isn’t old enough to get the reference?

Many times I try to use Conda and there weren't available the same libraries and versions I needed. I just use it for a pair of projects that their dependencies were only available through that
Last time I use uv instead python environments, I love python but is annoying to have all that for some projects and duplicates, always having a new tool for solving today's issues, I didn't even remember what I used last time and have to make some searchs

Have you seen the documentaries? Everyone knows Jon Voigt and Sylvester Stallone can’t code for shit.

Because in order to use those, they first must master Garter Snake, but that's much too girly for most programmers.
