I disagree. Python is not "esoteric" when making objects. The syntax is certainly easier than in Java.

The syntax is certainly easier than Java

And VisualBasic's syntax is easier than COBOL, but this isn't a competition to make the least offensive heap of putrid garbage, so why does it matter?

Python works just fine for basic scripts, frankly it's amazing for it, but oop and functional programming is so incredibly obviously badly shoehorned in that huge swathes needs scrapping and version 4 releasing

Then help me understand please. What do you mean by "esoteric" in regards to oop in Python compared to a language better suited for it?
