It is pretty cool. When I was little I had no idea what it means, just knew that it sounds cool. But the older I get that more I see these patterns.

junior dev: python is so cool!

senior dev: python is slow. No type checking. The syntax is garbage.

John Carmack: I write a lot of python and I use it exactly for what it is good for!
