Blog[0] = "python"

There are a few things that bother me in Python. I actually do like the language and have been reviewing it because I have been lab assisting Monica McGill’s IM 115 class at Bradley University.

The first of many things that bother me is one of the most obvious to programmers.

# comment
x = “Hello World!”
print x

Where’s the semicolon?!

I mean seriously, where did it go? It’s really annoying to code, and I know that’s a silly reason.

Another annoyance is the lack of { }. Python decides to format everything by indents. It definitely stresses the format of presentation, but it’s really frustrating if python decides to read the tabs as spaces.
