I've been as programmer for 60 years. I know perl well and it was my go-to scripting language for years although I hated the sigils various other design choices. Only within this year did I set aside the time to learn Python. It didn't take long ... the language is not complex. Of course the libraries and frameworks and deployment tools etc. are extensive and dense and complex because the world has become so complex, extraordinarily so compared to the world when I started programming.
> the language is not complex
It's easy to get started with, but it's certainly not simple. Even small expressions like `a + b` or `a.b` in Python have very complex semantics.
Gee, programming is hard.
The language is not complex.
(And there is a context here, with claims that the language has become complex ... your examples are obviously not relevant to that context.)
