>My few years of personal experience of using Python with even small-ish scale professional projects have been... underwhelming so far

You have years of experience but couldn't point to anything in particular?

Heck, I like python and I can complain about dynamic typing issues in for loops, or that they are adding features like generators/decorators that make code more difficult to understand, which goes against the zen of python.

(But I still think python is great)

Those features are 20ish years old which made the word "adding" seem a little weird. Interestingly the Zen of Python itself is not much older than generators.


Why would I need to point to anything in particular? I think that all Python developers know them already.
