The reason has been purged, intentionally forgotten. Vulcans train their entire lives to take on a dangerous task: once every 66 years, the very best of the best view the reason why Python is banned. Once viewed, the Vulcan confirms that it is indeed a just and necessary action to ban the ancient language.

After the task is complete, the Vulcan goes utterly, irretrievably insane and dies mere hours later.

It’s the GIL isn’t it?

I think Vulcans wouldn’t develop any higher order languages, as programming in assembly with some solid logic is free from leaky abstractions.

I’m going with Vulcans using APL*. Why create a language that makes you do more than just write the equations?

@StillPaisleyCat @startrek Of *course* their programming language would require a special keyboard.
