I come to Python around version 1.5, painfully tired by debugging CGI scripts, created by wannabe perl-golfers. Unfortunately, I feel like Python is losing more and more of the zen that once tempted me... Lazy loading looks like a last nail in the coffin, where my love to Python was buried, although it was a long, tiresome process.

It's now being used by a lot of people because they have to rather than want to so there is a desire to ** it up and reinvent their favorite language by adding all sorts of warts. That's the price of success. A proper revenge would be to introduce "easy mode" to Rust - where the compiler takes a huge chill pill and you get non-enforced garbage collection. :-)
