Subtle bug: missing commas in iterables
One of Python's features that I am not fond of is the implicit concatenation syntax. Two strings places side by side with no separator are automatically joined at runtime:
x = 'foo' 'bar'
print(x)
>>>'foobar'
This makes for some potentially subtle errors when creating lists and tuples:
x = [
    'a',
    'b',
    'c'
    'd',
    'e',
]
print(repr(x))
>>>['a', 'b', 'cd', 'e']Written by Lyndsy Simon
