This is nothing more than a rant about "but in Python I know how to do ..." The proof of this is in the last statement:

> Screw this, Iā€™m going back to Python.

The "hard part of learning a language" is letting go of preconceived notions and accepting that "learning a language" requires "learning."


I disagree. I think it presents the amount of baggage, ecosystem, call it what you will, that comes along with a language, and that must be mastered, or at least handled, along with the language itself.
