      I mean once you get beyond bash-like scripts python is esoteric as fuck, adding oop to what is essentially a shell is a terrible idea

      That said, there’s plenty of languages with good syntax that is still good when you get into more complex stuff (modern C#, scala, kotlin and more)

        The only thing esoteric about python is the bolted-on typing and anything behind a double underscore.

        So yeah, it’s there, but in front of the curtain it’s practically pseudo code.

        I think you’re missing the forest for the trees here pretty heavily.

        Yes, Python has some goofy aspects about managing it while performing high level, in depth tasks.

        This is a post and a comment chain about pseudocode being taught to people who likely just learned what a “programming language” was several weeks ago. Essentially no one taking the GCSE knows what “bash-like scripts” even means.
