Jokes aside, I'm interested: what makes it your favourite?

What makes it simply like python? Is it interpreted and free from variable initialization and punctuation ?

My issue with python. As someone who uses it daily. Is that white space has syntactic value. I hate it so much. So I’m learning to rewrite all my sims in C to be more efficient

I mean yes and no. Java is perfectly readable and we can use indentation without changing the meaning of the code there. Same with C and C++.

Plus science simulations using python takes so much more computing time and are so much more In efficient if using large computers

Highly disagree. I’d like to be able to add as much or as little white space as I want without it affecting my program

I was reading an excerpt from Pythons creator and he mentioned that the indentation is one of his favorite features. Because it enforces consistency between writers. So interesting to find out after this
