In Python:
"Hello" "World" == "HelloWorld"
This leads to bugs when you're writing an array of strings. This happens to me especially often when writing Django settings.py files
settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [ "foo", "bar" "baz" ]
This sets ÌNSTALLED_APPSto["foo", "barbaz"]`. I wish this would throw a SyntaxError.

C and C++ both do such string concatenation as well, though I've always considered it a feature. Put in this form it definitely will lead to unintended defects.
I wonder why it's there, given PYthon has string concatenation with a simple +.

Because
"hello" + "world"
is a syntax error, since the + doesn't make python join the lines. You'd have to do
("hello" + "world)
