Blame python for being off in the weeds adding syntax for software engineering (eg., walrus operator), and not for data analysis.

  I think it's helpful to keep in mind that Python is general purpose and used in many domains in addition to data analysis (no matter which side of the walrus operator you are on)

    I think it was. It isnt now. It should develop its syntax in response to its actual users, not now, merely the subset it has been serving for 20yr

      Yes. I'm not even sure what is Python used for these days, other than ML/Data Science.
