The more python I write the more it annoys me. See e.g. the ternary syntax. That's some AppleScript level bullshit, and there's a very strong sense of 'your way of thinking is wrong; here's the pythonic way to do what you want'. Oh and the documentation sucks as a reference.
Language is a funny thing. Sometimes you understand it and know exactly what it means and sometimes it makes those weird twists and becomes something else entirely.
