F-strings and defaultdict make me dislike Python about 50% less. Date math still sucks compared to JS, and comprehensions tend to be less comprehensible reading code someone else wrote, but Python wasn’t really meant to be a functional lang.
All that said, I strongly believe that solving the right problem and working in a language that more of the dev team / company are comfortable with deploying / supporting / integrating with are way more important. I’ve seen far too many times what happens when a team at a BigCo “goes rogue” and wants to use something nonstandard, then has to re-solve dozens of solved problems because of that decision. It’s never been worth it in my experience. M
