Idk I still like writing my own stuff purely pythonic when I can. Pythons syntax is the most “fun” and “natural” for me so I find it fun. Like doin a sudoku puzzle

That's true of basically all problems you deal with in programming. Unless you're truly bleeding edge you're working on a solved problem. It'll be novel enough that you can't out-of-the-box it but you can definitely use the tools and paths everyone else has put together.

Part of why I like kotlin as a language. It has so many tools built right in.
