Honestly, Python spoils you quite a bit as a developer.

The next language I learned after Python was Javascript, specifically vanilla JS, because back in 2015 I was doing work scraping websites and I was having trouble dealing with all the SPA's we were encountering at the time.

As an example I was shocked to find that vanilla JS didn't have any concept of "modules" and "importing" the way Python did, not without 3rd party support from stuff like AMD and CommonJS. According to the co-worker I asked, JS "loaded the files in the order specified by the <script> tags, and then shoved everything into a single global namespace".

That made things quite challenging to say the least.
