yea, I guess it's the lack of human-friendly default assumptions mixed with prescriptive design patterns. definitely an anachronistic design intent :(

have you worked with any compiled languages? It's not much different. It can get a lot worse ^_^. Java's one of the best languages to work in IMO.

I work professionally in C++, but I wouldn’t tout it either.

I find Python to be the most pleasant personally.

Python with types is indeed great.
