I should have searched for this first I guess. That is reassuring. I was mostly uncomfortable with the idea of the two being the same.
Still Anaconda from RH claims the software is mostly written in Python. That still makes me uneasy. I’ve always thought of C as very near to the hardware assembly and an interpreted language as prioritizing portability, flexibility, and access. I find it far harder to hack around with a binary written in C versus all of the python stuff I’ve encountered. Maybe I’m just mistaken in my understanding of how this code is running.
I look at C programs as tied more to the hardware they are compiled to run on with permanence. I look at python as a language designed to constantly depreciate itself and its code base. It feels like an extension of proprietary hardware planned obsolescence and manipulation. I don’t consider programs written in Python to have permanence or long term value because their toolchains become nearly impossible to track down from scratch.
