But Python still has a reputation of being a simple language for beginners. I’m not sure how that reputation endures. Is it just because of the lightweight syntax?
If they would do that, then they would realize Python is as powerful as Common Lisp, Ada, C++,.... with similar doc size in pages.
I never experienced the "I hate Python" phase. I think I went straight from "So exciting" to "productive" phase with Python.
I reencountered Python at a data science course that was somehow mandatory for my masters in ODE numerics. It has a HUGE availability of standard and third-party packages, so you can be INSANELY productive. I'd write in Brainfuck if it was the only way to have like Pytorch and giotto-tda and networkx and fastapi in the same room.
