    The whitespace doesn’t bother me at all, but holy hell! Any time I’m trying to understand a Python program/library that’s anything above a couple thousand lines of code, I instantly feel a burning hate for dynamic typing.

    I love Python for scripting- in large part because of dynamic typing. IMO it’s just not a language made for building large infrastructures.

      Exactly.

      I use it a lot on my systems for very simple scripts because I am significantly more experienced in python compared to bash.

      I remember getting given a 10k line python script which “was the documentation” for an API i had to interact with using powershell. I hated life so much because of that stupid project.
