I keep making this argument elsewhere on the Internet, so I thought it would be nice to make my point all in one place. Python is good now, if you weren't paying attention.

Yep, I have always loved Python but the Python 2 problems hurt me for years.

BTW, please proofread your blog posts.

As a start: "kwarge", "You want to the tool", "No one will top you".

Hah, thanks. Believe it or not I proofread it like three times but my mental autocorrect is just really aggressive.

I will never be a Quant, but I have a proofreading spidey-sense. It is rare that I read an article in even a national newspaper and don't see a typo.

This skill doesn't get me chicks though, surprisingly.

And yes, I just know I will have made a stupid mistake somewhere in this comment...

I hate yaml and python because they have no brackets. When I copy/paste stuff from the internet there's always some issue with indentation and that's a non-issue for normal languages because I can just automatically prettify them but with yaml and python I need to do it manually.

Ruff solves this. You should not be manually fiddling with indentations in 2026.
