Duplicate of "Which Python feature do you love the most?"

- What is your *least favorite* feature of Python?
- How would you describe Python in five words or less?

This feels a bit boring IMO.

- What is the most unusual feature of Python you have used?
- What is your favorite feature that was added in the newest version of Python when you started?

This topis seems a bit convoluted, I had to read it at least twice
Maybe: "What recent or upcoming change in Python are you excited about?"

- If you could only use one data structure for the rest of your life, what would it be?
- What was the last time you wrote code that worked on the first try?

Not a fan of either of these questions, but no strong opinion.

This sounds a bit too close to already existing "What feature do you think should be added to Python?"

- What rejected PEP do you wish was accepted?
- If you had to remove one feature from Python, what would it be?
- What would you tell your past self before you started learning Python?

Quite similar to "What is something you know now, that you wish you knew when starting out?"

- If Python was your first language, why did you pick it?
