rt.com works fine in Finland at least. I don't think we have website bans in general aside something like CSAM and copyright reasons, and even the latter at least is rare. There seems to be a manufactured narrative from the US right ho

Indeed. It's hard to teach Python as it's idiomatically used in the wild. There's just so much stuff going on (iterators, generators, async, context managers, comprehensions, annotations etc etc), it takes a lot of study&#x2F

I'm currently teaching an introductory programming course in Python, and I definitely feel the allure to teach using a simpler language like Scheme. Python has become a huge language over time, and it's really hard to make a sylla
