I hate python and I use it everyday because I work in the data space. Its a toy scripting / glue language that has gotten used for far too much that it was not designed for. The usual suspects are also really annoying, such as white space instead of {}, no types, its so damn slow and all projects use so many packages and the packages use packages etc. That last one could just be a personal preference thing to I will admit, but the rest are just almost objectively bad. Especially when building infrastructure like a data platform.
"white space instead of braces" is "just almost objectively bad"?
Why?
usually packages use packages in any worthwhile language with useful packages and desire for code reuse...
It's also funny to hear this about Python which, arguably, has biggest std and amount batteries included out of the box.
Python's stdlib is not really something to brag about. Very inconsistent, multiple ways of doing the same thing, a lot stuff in there people recommend against actually using...so much cruft acquired over decades.
It's why projects use so many packages in the first place.
Indeed. The standard library was primarily designed in, and for, an era where you couldn't just download multiple megabytes of third-party code on a whim.
