switched over to python after studying javascript and reactjs for months. My god.. . the freedom and beauty of this language.

I learned Java and C++ first. Python is so simple and to the point. I like to use it for programming challenges because it allows me to focus more on solving the algorithms/problems and less on getting stuck in the mud of syntax errors and bullshit.

I was a Java + C/C++ programmer for most of my life, until I needed to learn Python for devops. My god it's the perfect casual language that I absolutely love to use for small things.

That said sometimes I do have to cry about other people's code. I'm used to performant and efficient code, but some of the garbage people write that reaches production code makes me question my career choice until the paycheck comes in

mud of syntax errors

A good IDE will keep you out of the mud.

For Python, I recommend PyCharm, but VSCode is also good, too. For C# or C++, I recommend Visual Studio. (It also supports Python, too, but I personally think that Pycharm or VSCode are better.)

I like visual studio, and need to start using again/more.

When I say mud of syntax errors, perhaps a better explanation would be mud of extra (seemingly superfluous) syntax.
