While being easy to understand is important Python’s strangeness makes understanding other languages a bit more difficult. It is almost like Python gives you training wheels, but never let’s you take a leap of faith and gain the full power of riding two wheeled. For example Python’s Dynamic Typing got me accustomed to making variables with little to no thought. Then when I tried languages like Rust and C I was very confused by the idea of static typing.
