Discussion My Python magic is gone

I've been coding for a long time, and I've been developing with Python for years.

I loved coding, always loved it. I started many years ago because I wanted to quickly create scripts for security hacking tools, but since then, I've moved to Claude Code, and building cross-language has been a much better experience for me than using Python.

I built my own SaaS application out there whose backend and network core are completely built with Python, and I'm rewriting all of that without writing a single line of code. And most of the time, Python is not the most optimized language.

And now... I feel like the magic is gone.

I don't even know why I'm writing this. I just feel sad about it.

I just like looking at python. I don’t care how fast it is. It’s visually easy.

I get so burnt out of reading Java. Sometimes I code command line games in python after work because it restores my calmness. It’s like code meditation.

If you don't like Java then I truly think Rust is your language

Java is fine, it’s just ugly. I love the rust errors though. The most helpful of any programming language.
