The fact that some parts of the command are the same doesn't excuse the other parts being pointlessly different. It's a paper cut for beginners. One of hundreds, which makes the whole Python UX completely awful.


Which languages do this much better? Honest question.


Rust, Go, Javascript/Typescript, Java, C#, Dart, ... I mean it's basically all of them except C/C++. And OCaml. OCaml is the worst.

Rust, Go and Deno are definitely part of a new breed of "developer tooling should just bloody work!" languages. Python is from the era of "eh, you figure it out" mixed with a little of "I'm making this up as I go along".


True, the last three build tooling as a part of the language from the start.

Java? I seem to recall build systems and tooling being more pain than Fortran. Not sure I believe that one. Certainly not my experience.
