None, it was just a simple joke based on the typo in the post I replied to. I like Python, and have in fact been happily using it as my main language for over 20 years.
Personally I like that functions can be inside functions, as a trade off between inlining and functional seperation in C++.
The scope reduction makes it easier to track bugs while it has the benefits of separation of concern.
