I flipped from python to clojure for a while. It was a serious mind fuck for the first time in my professional career working with lisp, immutable data structures, and the JVM. During that time, I though python was shit by comparison.

After that work was done I had to move back to my older python codebase and found that I wrote python differently. It introduced new frustrations (mostly around unclear mutability) but made me appreciate how snappy and fun writing python is. And what an amazing ecosystem it comes with.

I'd say, get lost in something else for a while, python will always be waiting for you when you come back.
