What are the limitations of python?

Python is a scripting language. But where are it's limitations in comparison to other languages (e.g Java or C++ or others) and for what reason?

Only the programmer's imagination, I guess... 🐍😉 Speed is its main limitation, as it is designed to get the job done right, not quickly. The code is not compiled, by definition, so it has to be interpreted line by line with each execution. You can't compile - so you have to have the interpreter ready and at hand on *each* machine you want to run your script on. Also it has an embedded garbage collector which eliminates the coder's worries about memory management, but consumes some computing power to that.
