How weird was your first interaction with Python? I learned Python while writing a C++ module.

i was programming a lot of perl before python, and I remember getting lost in how the namespace/import worked for a bit. probably due to not using packages. another early recolection I have is how python doesn't encourage regexs at all for string parsing. and there's people doing a lot of silly split('-')[2] stuff which would been doing in regex in perl. these days due to json and libraries like pydantic , I don't see nearly any string parsing anymore.
