Reasons Python Sucks

True of most "X Sucks" discussions. I used to do a lot of ColdFusion. A mention of that would elicit the oh-so-clever, "I'm sorry...." A little digging found they either had never written a line of CFML in their life, or they worked on a project back in 2005 before they added numerable features, and before many of the frameworks and tooling that a typical developer would use.

same for PHP. Still not great but there is in 2018 essentially a "good parts" set of best practices, which combined w/ v7 is not a horrible language/platform. I feel you if you just don't like it, but I see so many people just quoting that old "fractal of bad design" post that's really not relevant any more.

And for JS. If you disable in linter some awkward features left for backward compatibility, modern JavaScript is pretty cool language.
