I too find those comparisons confusing. Being a python programmer for 3 years now, I can see what actually made me keep learning it to the point I use it professionally, daily. The language has enough mixes of advanced features that allowed me to curate what features I learned (and then used). A classic example is the use of the logging module and decorators for login function calls. I did the whole thing I wanted to do without proper logging, but when I wanted to add logging to a few function calls, I simple research pointed me to using decorators and the logging module. And so, more python goodness for myself. That led to other features such as the decorated classmethods and etc, but all in my own pace. That is something that I've only encountered with python.
