Python's taste is one of ergonomics. Expressiveness + easyness to read, even for a beginner. Python evolved from a project that was testing the UX of syntax for programming languages. My favorite example here is that in a function definition, `def foo(): \n pass`, the `:` isn't needed, a machine can parse it with only the newline. The : is a requirement because it made it easier for humans to read the language in user tests.
