Would you really rather see <\Foo> than )?

There’s a reason why most popular languages use } rather than end if or fi. The added verbosity doesn’t actually help people read your code more than e.g. indentation or editors with paren matching or rainbow parens.

Python virtual environments feel really archaic. It’s by far the worst user experience I’ve had with any kind of modern build system.

Even a decade ago in Haskell, you only had to type cabal sandbox init only once, rather than source virtualenv/bin/activate.sh every time you cd to the project dir.

I’m not really a python guy, but having to start touching a python project at work was a really unpleasant surprise.
