Wow, we're on pretty much the same path.
Loved Python when I got into it circa 2011. Didnt have prior programming experience, minus basic BASIC and HTML. It was simple enough and the stdlib include enough things to get me going, but it had enough complexity to intrigue me to dive deeper (list comprehensions, bytes vs strings, inheritance vs composition) and I think I learned a ton about programming thanks to it.
But these days when I see modern Python, it looks "uncomfortable". It has so many features, and so many ways of doing things that just figuring that out feels like a massive time sink.
I write server-side software with Go now. I feel like with Go I can just sit down and start solving problems. That applies even to sitting down and diving into a 10 year old codebase.
