Amateur night at the HN corral. Open mic until close.

(Slashdot wants their post back, haha.)

Clickbaity maybe, because it’s a controversial topic. What is the line between opinionated and over-opinionated?

The tone, which often shows an unwillingness to learn. The lack of humility. Confidently stating or broadcasting facts without acknowledging why others might disagree.

> everyone knows that

Uh, no. There’s a reason I prefer Node, Deno or Rust, and the reason is that Python sucks.

Or at least sucks more than either of those.

This reflects more on you than the language: no language is perfect but if something is popular and successfully used for many projects, it’s unlikely that it reaches the level of “sucks”. It’s far more interesting to talk about what traits you like or don’t like because those are things which can be evaluated by readers who can mull how relevant your experience is to them. For example, if you say you’re working on embedded systems a lot of people will likely agree that Python isn’t a great fit but also that experience is only partially relevant to someone who builds web apps or works in data science.

Python doesn’t suck in general, it just sucks by comparison.

The main benefit I hear people say Python brings are the libraries that are written in it, but that’s not really a property of the language itself.

By comparison, in context. Context really is everything here

It would be an okay provocative title if the criticism was well-founded (which can certainly be done for Python), but most of the article is rather poor.
