Whenever I come across someone whose favorite language is Python, their argument is usually that "my pseudocode is basically Python!". While Python is certainly not my favorite language I really adore its syntax. A joy to work with. The wordiness and significant whitespace are features to me. For any feature, the syntax is usually the simplest and most obvious thing you can think of. No reason to look things up; guessing is actually a viable alternative! It's the lack of compile-time checks, support for functional programming, run-time weirdness and slowness that I don't like. It's an excellent replacement for shellscript, though. Rust would do well to avoid weird glyphs, IMO.
