    Python is just glorified shell scripting

    Absolutely not, python is an actual programming language with sane error handling and arbitrarily nestable data structures.

    I don’t like the indentation crap

    Don’t be so superficial. When learning something, go with the flow and try to work with the design choices, not against them.

    Python simply writes a bit differently: you do e.g. more function definitions and list comprehensions.

      Yeah I meant for that to be a bit inflammatory. I actually don’t mind python apart from the execution speed, but the indentation I find makes it more difficult to read stuff that is extremely nested. I use it mostly for creating plots and basic stuff for my science degree but for any serious project I wouldn’t consider it
