It is deceptively simple. The Python learning curve looks like a snake - https://fabienmaussion.info/acinn_python_workshop/figures/xkcd_learning_curve_wa.png ht

  Does this curve really represent everyone's experience? I never experienced the "I hate Python" phase. I think I went straight from "So exciting" to "productive" phase with Python.

    My only hate Python is how hard it is to push for JIT adoption versus other dynamic language communities.

    I hated Python 2 because it did the Wrong Thing with integer division (it didn't cast to floats), so my attempts at simple scripts just didn't work. I reencountered Python at a data science course that was somehow mandatory for my masters in ODE numerics. It has a HUGE availability of standard and third-party packages, so you can be INSANELY productive. I'd write in Brainfuck if it was the only way to have like Pytorch and giotto-tda and networkx and fastapi in the same room.

  Back to the original question, is there any other language that doesn't look like this?
