At the beginning of the course, I thought that Python doesn't support stack. But in fact Python's list has all the structural elements of stack. Also because of the structure of the namespace (check inheritance link) in
Python, Python doesn't need to implement a separate class for stack like Java. Python has some nice syntactic sugar for dealing with lists.
Other things that make Python great are meta-programming, closures, dynamic loading of modules and portability. It's not that other language doesn't or can't do these things, it's that it doesn't or can't do them out of the box nor as cleanly. Moreover, you don't need to download libraries. Just install Python and go. Starting in Python and then polishing performance in C is a more efficient workflow overall. That might not be personally true for you.
