The most insane python feature is that for loops keep their intermediate variable.
for x in [1,2,3]:
print(x)
x sticks around! So you'll always have these random variables floating around, and hope you don't use the wrong one.
And to add insult to insult to injury, if you're using mypy for type checking you'll get a nice error if you try to reuse x with a different type:
for x in ['a', 'b', 'c']:
print(x) << Incompatible types in assignment (expression has type "str", variable has type "int") [assignment]
And the types I can never trust. I've used all the tooling and you still get type errors in runtime. It's also ridiculously slow.
I would also like optional chaining (e.g. foo?.bar?.baz) and a million other features that other high level programming languages have.
