Somewhat reasonable title but poorly written content.

> For instance, what is called an "Array" in pretty much every mainstream language, is instead called a "List" in Python.

Because it is a list rather than an array (as in C).

> Another issue with Python is that it is essentially two different languages, there's Python 2.7 and Python 3+.

It's 2020, you are not supposed to teach Python 2 to newbies.

I was expecting more in-depth discussion, and the whole article is just way too superficial.
