Looking at actual #Python in the wild, I am forced to conclude that the reason a lot of people dislike Python is that they've never bothered to learn it. They just copy other people's crappy code, end up with crap themselves, and conclude that the problem is Python and the solution is to rewrite everything in Go. Once they rewrite everything in Go, it's still crap, but by then they've left the team and it's someone else's problem. New person to the team asks why they're rewriting it in Go and is told "Because Python didn't work well for the project," so they think "Wow if it's this bad now Python must really suck."
