I wonder if it'd have been hated more than Python is - especially with the 1-based indexing...

Scientific computing tends to be 1-based. Thus R, Julia, Fortran, Matlab.

Python isn't hated AFAICT, though people will profess to hating building large projects in it (myself included), but many of those people also love it for shorter programs and scripts.

Everything is hated.

Python has always gotten hate for being super super slow and having an ugly syntax (subjective ofc, but I happen to agree)
