Then you are not in a position to make the prnouncements about Python's
effect on coding efficiency that you are pronouncing, in this and other
threads.

You should gain a lot more experience using Python for productive work,
before declaring any effects on productive work inherent to the language
design.

Or that the programming tools of 25 years ago compare poorly to today's
tools.
Even tools that have existed for 25 years have benefited from the
intervening time. No-one uses Emacs *as it was 25 years ago* and expects
to be as proficient as someone using Emacs as it is today.
