This sums it up perfectly. Gradle is the best tool in the world for making me feel like I'm dumb. It is so hard to track where things are defined because the build script has something like 100 invisible imports by default. It makes for a beautiful file but a horrible experience for anyone who's new. I hate it.

I can't believe this was upvoted. These aren't reasons that Python sucks, they're nitpicks from a guy who has decided long ago that he knows what he likes and refuses to try anything else.

"If I have the choice between using some pre-existing Python code or rewriting it in C, I'd rather rewrite it in C."

I should have stopped reading there, because this shows just how set the author is in his ways. Both languages have a place, and if I'm writing a web scraper, you can bet your ass it's not going to be in C.
