Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.
Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

Python is just as bad if not worse then JavaScript. The fact that if you misspell a variable name, instead of giving an error like any sane language, Python code will still run, but do something different then it looks like it does, creating a hard to spot bug is just awful. The amount of time I have spent debugging python code only to find a tiny typo that any sane language would have caught before the code even ran is several weeks now, I can’t imagine how much collective time has been lost over this, and a few other, horrible languages.
yeah but python is super slow
Do you use a linter? I switched to Ruff several months ago and it is amazing, it finds many defects and runs very quickly (even on huge disgusting legacy files)
Huh? That’s not what happens at all. Python doesn’t just mahically create variables for you, you get an undefined reference error like any other sane language.

Except it does for assignments.
Ah, ok sure. Every dynamically typed language does that with assignments though, that’s kinda the point of dynamic typing. You can use linters to easily catch that kinda stuff though.
