The more time I spend with Python the more reasons I find to hate it. However, it's still my main language. Everything I end up making just ends up being written in Python because that's the language I know the best. I could learn another language, and I have learned other languages, but Python seems to be the language that mentally clicks with me the most. I think it's because it's the first language I learned. Suffice to say, there are so many things wrong with Python and they're all compromises that were made to appeal to wider audience. Unfortunately, I don't think that the "wider audience" is those who are looking for concurrency.

Me too. As I know more and more about languages and computers, the more I hate it but I end up doing 85% of my projects because with it I can focus on ideas, not implementation details.

We agree. I think python is great. I actually asked because python usually makes things dead simple and straightforward. > Unfortunately, I don't think that the "wider audience" is those who are looking for concurrency. I don't buy this. Many network heavy shops use Python so concurrency is relevant. The language is used in web, finance, cloud, data pipelining/etl, and so many more. Dropbox, Robinhood, Spotify, Instagram, Uber, Google, etc, are the "wider audience" and they certainly care about concurrency.
