They say Python is the easiest language to learn, that being said, how much did it help you learn other languages? Did any of you for instance try C++ but quit, learn Python, and then back to C++?

  A dialect of Lisp that's embedded in Python

  

There's even Hy, which is "a Lisp dialect that's embedded in Python". It transpiles to code the Python interpreter can handle. So you get the features of a Lisp combined with the features of Python and all of the libraries it has available. To me, that sounds like a great combination.

  A curated list of awesome things related to functional programming in Python.

Really strange new lands can be found in functional programming languages like Haskell, Elm, OCaml, Elixir, and the like. Functional programming in Python isn't something I have adopted fully, but I do find it a helpful paradigm. Interesting tools available for it.

  Macros in Python: quasiquotes, case classes, LINQ and more!

You keep pretending that I and other people are saying that by learning a language you magically pick up these concepts, but literally nobody here is saying that. I'm glad that you love macros so much, but they can certainly be implemented in other languages, for just one example.
