I tried to learn Python around 2008-2009 and it was literally the worst time to try to learn Python, the transition to Python3 was just beginning, take 2 random code samples from the internet and they won't work together, python2to3 didn't work either.

It's kind of a shame how this transition took more than 10 years. The good part, we learned that we don't have to go through the same again. of course I dropped python (I was like 18 years old and didn't know anything about programming), I had to learn python last year and you still can see a lot of stuff that makes the experience kind of annoying.

Anyway, I'm pretty impressed how Python still is in the first positions of most charts, I still fail to see how great the language is, but hopefully I will be able to someday soon :)
