What is such low effort post doing here? I use Python way less than I used to, but this is just unfounded whining. And imagining js is better on those points...

  Just for the record, I'm the author and didn't post it to HN specifically because it's opinionated and whiny.

    As well as inaccurate, along with many of your comments on this page.

  I came here to say the same. The author clearly has only a very superficial knowledge of python (and a large distaste for it). Throughout my studies and career I've written c, c++, java, javascript, perl, bash, python and a little bit of go. Python for me is by far my favorite and most productive language. Expressive syntax, an unmatched wealth of useful libraries and most importantly: when I come back to code I wrote months ago I can easily read and understand it! Which can't be said of my old perl code. I also love how python has been picking up steam lately, 3.6 - 3.11 have been splendid releases with plenty of goodies in each one.

    >The author clearly has only a very superficial knowledge of python (and a large distaste for it) I wouldn't make assumptions like that. I've worked with production Python codebases. In fact, until recently I was working as a DevOps Engineer in a hedge fund building much bigger, more complex systems than a typical CRUD backend. I worked hands on with some of the Python repositories and it was extremely painful simply because of the nature of Python.
