What about it has got harder to learn?

To do something technical involves knowing some technical library, but I believe that was always the case.


As the language keeps growing, it gets harder. If my code gets illuminated by constellations of stars and double stars or all my functions are decorated, most of my colleagues start giving me bad looks. In my humble opinion they are on the right. That's not what they signed for when they became Python fans.
