Why was Python created in the first place?

This is the origin of many Python features, including the use of indentation for statement grouping and the inclusion of very-high-level data types (although the details are all different in Python).
I had a number of gripes about the ABC language, but also liked many of its features. It was impossible to extend the ABC language (or its implementation) to remedy my complaints – in fact its lack of extensibility was one of its biggest problems.
I had some experience with using Modula-2+ and talked with the designers of Modula-3 and read the Modula-3 report. Modula-3 is the origin of the syntax and semantics used for exceptions, and some other Python features.
to hide C and handle exceptions
I began learning C a few weeks ago and find it’s more enjoyable for me than Python.
when I mastered C (as in pushed every base abstraction to their mathematical limits via X macros) I had to quit programming for a few years before deciding how to integrate the skill set into real life
being able to do anything with a computer made doing less than everything uninteresting... turns out everything over bits is limiting — coherence computing is something else entirely
In other words, the flow of charge against charge creates the illusion of conversion. By better managing those systems at the species level, we find that Coherence Computing yields phenomenal energetic conservation gains as flow capacitance: "Pools".
In fact, I was studying Macros yesterday and they sorta blew my mind. Cannot yet comprehend the vast capabilities embedded within, but it’s encouraging to hear your testimony.
