I must admit that I’ve tried python in my early days and indentation was the main reason why I just didn’t pursue the language further. It felt just brittle and hard to read. Of course if I had be forced I would have probably managed to master it but I had the freedom to use whatever I wanted as programming language and python was just not an attractive option.(despite being seduced by its “zen” and all that. Felt like form over function design.

The “build”/run/deploy system was the other major issue. All the python versions, virtual env etc seemed like a mess. A compiled language is so much better(I.e Go, Rust etc) IMHO.
