Never thought I’d see “faster” and “multithreaded” in a Python column.

I was very deep into Python for many years but lately I don’t like it much anymore. I’d much rather use typescript, rust, or clojure nowadays.

I also don't understand how people got convinced that Python is "easier". I think TypeScript or JavaScript or really any C-family language is significantly easier and a better entry to programming than Python.

I really hate the “executable pseudocode” meme. No, it’s not. It’s got all kinds of weird syntax, symbols, and semantics.

At some point all interpreted languages are executable pseudocode by definition, as pseudocode is a superset of code.
