I totally agree but always find myself in a very small minority when expressing this. People love Python and I don’t understand it.

For me the issue is that one cannot write in a “light functional programming” style in Python. The language lacks many simple things, but chief of them is multi-line lambdas! In 2024 I’m very surprised that people aren’t clamouring for this.

Ignoring the social benefits (which is easily the biggest draw of the language), Python feels really optimal for quick, simple tasks. The language lends itself to not overthinking it and building simple solutions.
