I think venv is the best because it's built in. But I'm also not a Python dev.

Is it the language's fault that you want to solve complex problems?

I would recommend pdm and micromamba.

“Print needs ()”

Oh fuck off. years of code that cannot be easily redone in ANY editor. Whoever OCDd that into python 3 needs to have their asshole kicked up into their mouth.

Meanwhile Nim:

echo "I am still worthy"
let a = r"I hate the ugly '\' at the end of " &
         "multiline statements"
for x in 0..9:
  if x == 6: echo x

echo x # this is error in Nim, but not in python. Insane!
assert false + 1 # this is an error (python devs in shambles)
assert true - 1 # see above

Thanks for coming to my Ted-talk.

The thing that annoys me the most is how it cares about whitespace/carriage returns. I remember back in college when I was taking a CS class, learning Python and writing the Code on a Windows PC, emailing it to myself, and then attempting to run the code on Linux. Before I learned about the carriage return conversions, I remember having to rewrite about 75 lines of code before I got it to run. 🤬

The syntax wouldn't work without consistent spacing
