I've always wanted to like Python, but I got out of undergrad in 2006 and pretty much the entire first part of my career was the ridiculous Python 3 migration nonsense. Every time I wanted or needed to use Python there was some dependency management nightmare to deal with. For like a decade or so.

I think I'm like you, I have some sort of Python ptsd from those years and don't really care to venture into it again. It sounds like it's gotten a lot better recently, but also after years of using Go and TypeScript I can't imagine working on a codebase without static types.
