By the way, recently I realized that what I want is a language that does less instead of doing more. After all all these niceties with ranges and iterators are just syntactic sugar. Write pythonic code and face problems when porting this algorithm to C because C has nothing of Python niceties, which stop looking so nice at this point. Write non-pythonic C-like code without classes but with `__slots__` and functions all the way down and get not only the code that can be ported much easier to C and many other languages, but, surprisingly, also the code that is much more accessible and easier to reason about.
