I hate python, I just hate everything else more.

Jokes aside it's a great language. I would love to see a better package management ecosystem for it, as that is also my biggest issue. Python also does something no other mainstream scripted language does- it allows you to install extensions to the language right in the same package manager, as it can compile libraries from source when wheels are unavailable- this makes it a much harder challenge. At the same time I'm really happy that PyPI is a non-profit organization and won't have to go through the issues that something like NPM did.

I love Python (flexibility, ecosystem, datamodel). I love Java (verbosity, explicitness, robustness). Now, kill me. I don't let others define what I should and shouldn't think about a tool, in this case a programming language. I make up my own mind based on my own experience with the tools. Remember, they're just tools. Not the end game.
