I think that pseudocode aspect is what makes it hard/frustrating to read for me.

I'm more of a c++/TS/etc user, so I miss braces a lot. I think a basic Python script sure it's easy to read through, but a large project starts to get quite ugh.

I am very jealous of Python's numerous built-ins though. I was looking for a JS sum function the other day and was surprised to see node.js still doesn't have a built in + you still cannot reference operator functions.

But at least JS now has a built-in leftpad function ;) (called padStart).

Lmao are people really -ing me because I don't like Python. Tribalism is present in all areas of human life I suppose.

You people should grow up. Programming languages are tools, not pets.
