Everytime I have to use some python script I fucking groan. God, what a pain in the ass python is...

    I’m sure it doesn’t help that because it’s pushed on beginners, a ton of python projects are set up by people who don’t have any idea what they’re doing.

    Holy shit! Is this it? Is this why Python (and Javascript in particular) are hell?

    edit: (in defense of Python, Gentoo's package manager, Portage, is programmed in Python and is the most robust package manager I've ever used in a good 20 years)

      Yes. It's where all the people who don't yet know what they're doing end up, and 80% of the world is built on it, so the end result is everything is dogshit.

      So is Arch's pacman last I checked but they monitor its codebase with an iron fist. Python has a useful niche right above complicated shell scripts. It just keeps getting applied outside of its domain.
