I'm still trying to figure out why teams feel Java or C++ is not sufficient that they need to go Python. Just to do things differently and prove a point?

Someone feel free to enlighten me...

By the way, interesting observation on SpaceX regarding patents. I didn't know that...but Tesla (and Paypal) do have plenty of patents so I'm not sure why Elon is being inconsistent in his psychology.

About the SpaceX patents, the reason is because there is nothing from stopping the chinese from stealing our rocket secrets. I mean their is a difference from cars and rockets. Rockets can be weaponized and SpaceX when they finally get to MArs the chinese will just try to steal the technology. Sorry but China can't invent they can only steal which is proven with the military technology they try to steal and replicate from our government/defense contractors.
As you can tell I am not a big fan of China to the verge of pretty much hating their government.
If I ever end of making a robotics business or something along those lines I will never work with the chinese.

Plus the technology they try to steal from us and replicate usually doesnt work

Plus the chinese have tooken American companies and their inventions and pretty much gave them to some chinese companie to benefit their economy.

Also the way the treat their people over there
