I've got a solid background in programming thanks to my experience with C++ and JavaScript, and now I'm diving into a new AI project using Python for OSINT tasks. However, I keep feeling conflicted about how Python handles imports and overall, it just feels overly simple, almost like I'm writing a bash script. Does anyone else struggle with feeling "dirty" while coding in Python?

It's kind of amusing that you learned on C++ and JavaScript, and now you're feeling Python is dirty. They're all valid languages with their quirks!
If you want to feel a bit cleaner using Python, try using type hints or mypy. But really, it's nothing to feel bad about—Python is a dynamic language, and that's part of its charm!
Programming languages are just tools for the job. Think of it this way: would you try to hammer in a nail with a paintbrush? Different languages serve different purposes, and Python has its strengths.
True! I might have been influenced by some memes and jokes from humor subreddits about coding. They definitely skew my perspective!
Honestly, bash scripting can be trickier than C for many people! Its syntax can be baffling, and I usually give up on it and just switch to Python instead.
I agree! Bash syntax is a pain, especially if you don't use Linux all the time. It's tough to get comfortable with it.
Yeah, it’s not really worth the headache. I also find Python to be easier for quick scripts.
Seriously! I think they're all a bit "dirty" in their own unique ways.
