I started using Python 2 around 2001, and had a very long laundry list of Things I Hate About Python.

When Python 3 came out, I had all but given up on Python. Took a look at Python 3, and out of my list of hate, everything-except-one-thing was fixed in Python 3.

The only thing that wasn't "fixed" was offside rule. I know offside rule is part of the heart and soul of Python. It will never change. Even after all this time, it still feels like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

I can accept that one point of agree-to-disagree. (Heck, my Things I Hate About C++ list is about x1000 times longer than my Python 2 hate list. Python 3 with but a single hate item is bliss in comparison to C++!)
