I think what mainly pushed me away for years was probably the "def" keyword. It that was replaced with the word "function", I probably would have chosen to learn the language a lot sooner, but "def" always made me roll my eyes for some reason.
Cool language, though, so far. I misjudged it.

@paulshryock@phpc.social having learned Python back in the 2000s, and learning Rust now, I all I can say is "yes". Python is definitely easy to learn. there are some quirks though, and some PHP reflexes don't apply there (or so I'm being told, for example DIC). I can't share any insight on Rust as I'm still learning it. But I really like its enums, match statements, and the Option (Some/None)
