Learning enough of a language just to do something with it is not necessarily learning the language. It can take a while to actually learn the idioms of a given language and make full use of it. So if your Python code looks like JavaScrip

I've been using Transcrypt for the last few months and am impressed at how well it integrates with JS libraries. But then that was done with intention in the design. I've been writing React+MaterialUI apps in Python and the resu

Yes, this! I'm not against the language evolving, but why do so many people seem to want to turn it into JavaScript? I've been using Python for the last 10 years, and when learning it went out of my way to make sure I was using
