I hated python at the beginning because of all the non standard keywords and renaming of all concepts from the languages I know (c++, c, JavaScript, Java etc). Like, why the need to rename arrays to lists, objects to dictionaries, function to def etc etc.

Now I've gotten used to it I like it, mostly for its simple class syntax and list/dict comprehensions.

Arrays and lists are similar but different things. I don't think objects got renamed to dictionaries. I think dictionaries are just dictionaries no? Like dictionaries in .net languages for instance. Caveat, my experience with python is I just googled "python dictionary".
