I am learning python right now, Python is not only non beginner friendly, it's also not C-family(java,c++,js...) friendly(assuming most developers knew some C before taking on Python). That been said, it's versatile enough for me to continue, but calling it beginner-friendly is misleading to say the least.

Python is at least as close to “C-family” as JS; it's also probably not the case that most people learning Python knew some C first, since it's been fairly prevalent in introductory classes as a first language, while C is not particularly common as an introductory teaching language anymore.


I disagree with it being non beginner-friendly. Too many of the resources are geared towards beginners, and its docs aren't as thorough as Java's.
