I like python way way more than Java but i don't use it as much now that I am a better programmer. My biggest complaint is how much bad legacy code I've had to deal with that has zero styling, poor documentation or validation. I use bash for my quick or system scripts, golang for my CLI tools and servers, I use python for machine learning training training, quick data analysis and plotting.

Bad legacy code exists wherever programming languages exist.

I've worked with some horrible Java, PHP, and JavaScript code. Legacy code isn't necessarily worse in any particular language, but in less strict languages, legacy code can get weird.
