TIL: everything in Python is a hash table.

everything's a PyObject (making it a "unityped" language in typespeak) but you won't find a hash table on most of the primitives (str, int, bool, ...)

I used Python for a long time when it was still Python 2, but the transition to 3 soured me and I spent some time using Clojure, JavaScript, Elixir, Rust. I still use Python for the things it's particularly good for. The language is just missing some things I like having now.

That’s really interesting. I’ve heard a lot of good things about Clojure but haven’t learned it yet. I started with Scheme, probably will move on to Clojure or Ruby (depending on work options/opportunities).

Clojure has an interesting and thorough set of functions for transforming immutable data, and it's impossible not to think in terms of those functions after you learn them. I found them really useful even when I worked in Elixir because the same set of functions is present there.

Makes sense…I have heard Clojure described as ‘a step closer to Scheme than Python’ and I have found it hard to let go the simplicity of higher order functions while I’ve been getting to grips with Python.
