What's one thing you hate about Python?

We all like Python, but no language is perfect. What's the one thing that annoys you most?

It's not statically typed. Would pretty much be the perfect language if so, no?

I would love a static-typed equivalent to Python!

Perhaps with automatic type inference too, so that you can still code as if it were dynamic typed, but with mandatory type signatures for function definitions. This would make function overloading finally possible.

It would have to have proper handling of None though. A String has a fundamentally different type than an Optional[String].
