Might as well use Cobol then, if you're that syntax agnostic. I, on the other hand, can't stand the syntax of python or COBOL and it's one of the major reasons I avoid these languages.


If COBOL was the right tool for the job I wouldn't let the syntax, of all things, stop me. But that is hardly the greatest of COBOL's weaknesses at this point. An odd example.

If Python is otherwise a good choice for whatever you're doing and you're avoiding it just because of the syntax, that's an example of what I'm talking about and you should just get over it. It's just a change of perspective.
