Python programming is drowning in red tape
As a long time Python fan, I find the current state of the language frustrating. Tools like black and poetry are nice, but are not part of the standard library. Yet they seem to be required by every popular project out there. (Also, black’s formatting is quite ugly, as noted in this blog post)<p>Meanwhile, the language itself is increasingly baroque and complicated. Type-annotated, asyncio-enabled Python hardly resembles the easy-to-understand language I fell in love with back in 2006.<p>Perhaps this is just an “old man yells at cloud” moment...
