Push Yourself

In Kung Fu training if there's something I don't feel like working, I know that's what I NEED to be working.

Well I don't want to learn Python, and really don't feel like digging more deeply into Javascript. I would much rather learn C or C++. But the technologies we are migrating to at work are much more conducive with JS and Python. So like it or not, those are my languages, presently.

The entertaining thing about my situation is, according to what little I know of Python and what little I've done in JS, I dislike them for exact opposite reasons.
JS bothers me because it can't even be bothered. You can assign wrong types or even wipe out built-in functions. It simply doesn't care.

Python on the other hand defines code blocks by formatting. I find that annoying. Let the developer format their code however - even though we all indent in a way that would most likely be perfect for Python. I still would prefer brackets as a means of defining blocks of code.

But hey, I could be completely wrong. We will see as I dig in.
