That's so funny.

At university we didn't use Python, but mostly Java, C++, C a bit of Haskell and some even more esoteric ones.

Sure thing I got exposed to Python, but to this day, I don't like it.

All that whitespace typing just kills me xD

I am not normally someone who cares the slightest about Syntax.

I've written Rust, C++, C, C#, JavaScript, TypeScript, Haskell, Kotlin, Scala, PHP, and many, many more in my spare time and being paid to... Yes, I've also been paid to write Python and I use it for some scripts instead of bash occasionally, but boy will I never like Python

Well, I feel you very much about Python! Also was coding in plenty of languages for past 30 years (assembly, pascal, C, D, java, visual basic, typescript, C++, and so on and so for) and every now and then I wonder if that aversion of mine towards indentation based languages (python, nim) comes from lack of enough flexibility of my mind/aversion towards training my brain to use and recognize different coding way or it is simply because it not ergonomic enough once you reach certain skill level.
