       Yes #Python is a deeply unimpressive language, but in my experience it's tolerable for simple tasks as long as it's used correctly.Most Python code out there is terrible because it's written by less experienced developers who don't read language and tool documentations and copy/paste what they find online (content itself written by junior developers), endlessly amplifying the problem.This is the curse of languages perceived as easy for beginners.

       @galdor I maintain a Python project I started when I was a new graduate. Seven years later, this rings true.

       @jgayfer @galdor and I do Python development for a living, I took part in many large Python code bases, and I may be biased but in my opinion Python is a great language not only for simple tasks

       @stfn @jgayfer I'm curious about your experience in other languages.

       @galdor @jgayfer i have some work experience in JS and I don't like it, it just doesn't click with my brain, and the syntax is convoluted for me. I used to write C and PHP for fun many years ago, but I would not call it experience
