Not to dig on this project, but I find it constantly befuddling how awful the Python dev ecosystem is. And has barely improved after a decade of being so popular. The ergonomics of coding with Java or C# in 2010 are still so far beyond anything in Python in 2024, I constantly question why it's so popular.

If you have to question yourself that then you seriously lack experience with the language.

I've been using it for many years. It's fine to start a greenfield project, but I'm at an org with 12+ years of tech debt and every generation of application has a different build system and almost all of them are brittle as dry leaves. My metric for the value of a language isn't how convenient it is write, but how durable it is in maintenance. And for my money, Python is still vastly inferior to strongly-typed languages. Build tools, doc tools, and readable stack traces outweigh syntax or semantics.
