Coding with Python makes me feel like I'm hand-washing dishes that have been dirtied and left in the sink for several days.

I know that many like Python, and I'm not arguing against that in any way. Whatever floats your boat, mang.

However, trying to tell me why I "ought to like" Python is like telling me why I "ought to like" cilantro. I know you think it's delicious. To me it smells like squashed bugs, and tastes like dish soap.

The dish soap thing is genetic if you didn’t know. The majority of the world doesn’t taste the dish soap.
