My crazy take is that there needs to be a interpretative language alternative to Python which uses brackets to define scope and/or things like elif/else/fi/endif/done. Much easier that way in my opinion, and the “;” shouldn’t be necessary. I’m used to Python, but if I had another language which can be used to serve similar purpose to Python with those features, I would never code in Python again when it comes up.
Having to code in Julia and G’MIC (Domain-Specific Interpretative language that is arguably the most flexible for raster graphics content creation and editing), they’re the closest to there, but they’re more suitable for their respective domain than generic ones.
Here’s something weird. I haven’t written a ruby program in 15 years, but I still use irb as my calculator.
Ruby does that (well you use the keyword “end” instead of a bracket) but it fell out of favor before it got as big as python, to my knowledge, because of worse multithreaded performance in comparison (which I think has been fixed) and a bias towards unix systems over windows
There are so many ways to get the same basic logic loop done
This also applies to C.
