I'm actually kind of happy, because it gets rid of all of the "Don't mess up the system Python/Ruby, or else!" pain. If you run python, you know it's a python you want, and not an accidental system one.

Yes, exactly! I am also glad about this! I’m more comfortable with installing things and managing stuff via terminal now but not a long time ago I was intimidated about changing anything because it seemed like I could break my system or something.

Yeah, me too! They are probably using Swift for everything now and don't need the Python/Perl/Ruby runtimes anymore.
