it's known for its simplicity but i think it just makes the language harder to work with

for example, indentation, a wrong space or a tab will prevent you from running the code, this essentially means the tool tells you how to use it, what if I want to format the code the way I want to?

you need to import 8428 libraries to do a simple tasks, that are actually mostly written in languages other than python because writing them in python would be painful

libraries often work on one OS, and on other don't, or don't work at all, almost everytime i clone someone else's repo dependencies just don't work and i have to swap them and tweak the code to work at all

i find it difficult to scale bigger projects, it's only good for me when i have to write a simple 10 line script to automate something, the syntax fucking sucks

"you need to import 8428 libraries to do a simple tasks" . Sadly this has also become the case for javascript... what the ... is going on inside that node_modules folder???
