Discussion on: Why all this hate about Python?

We are afraid of what we do not understand, we hate the things we are afraid of. Also some devs really hate it :))

It is hard to find good answers to your Q, most of the hate is for things that Python isn't and shouldn't and don't want to be: a static typed compiled language.

I for one hate it because it took all the libs and love for all the science related stuff. To play with ML algorithms I had to learn a bit of Python.

I also hate it because of the "indent" design, to delimit a set of instructions using something invisible is simply wrong, it didn't bother me much but being so popular it affected many things along the way (IDE, tabs vs spaces war) even new language design specs, snippet from Go's

Some observers objected to Go's C-like block structure with braces, preferring the use of spaces for indentation, in the style of Python or Haskell. However, we have had extensive experience tracking down build and test failures caused by cross-language builds where a Python snippet embedded in another language, for instance through a SWIG invocation, is subtly and invisibly broken by a change in the indentation of the surrounding code. Our position is therefore that, although spaces for indentation is nice for small programs, it doesn't scale well, and the bigger and more heterogeneous the code base, the more trouble it can cause. It is better to forgo convenience for safety and dependability, so Go has brace-bounded blocks.
