Some people think that because Python is the easiest language to learn, it's going to be easy to learn programming with Python. But learning programming is still very hard, so many abstract concepts to grasp. Python just makes it a tiny less hard, almost insignificantly now that we can use an LLM to learn the syntax faster than than ever.

as a complete layman and hobbyist i also personally think that "more pythonic" coding can sometimes be more confusing.

I dont think any beginner reads "j for j for i in k" and instantly gets it.

maybe unpopular opinion idk

Anything that's not an integer or a range doesn't belong inside []. Much more readable to use zip, map, filter, etc. And more powerful.

EDIT: that was meant for indexing lists. Strings inside [] for indexing ducts are fine.
