> do basic tasks like reading a file into an array
not 100% on-topic, but that's an interesting one because I'd expect many active devs could stumble over: Reading a file isn't difficult, but it's also not something you actually do very often. If you do C++, you're often working in large projects where reading files is something done by libraries, custom wrappers, ... It's firmly in "if you need it, once every few years, it's in the docs" land.
Whereas I do comparatively little code in Python, but a lot of it is small one-off scripting where file handling using the basic facilities is typical.
