Well, it looks like I'm going to be dragged (kicking and screaming) into Linux development so I can address some glaring problems with Kodi.
If one is doing Python-3 dev, I'd be interested in hearing about it. I'm thinking I'll just create a Linux VM for dev work to avoid screwing up my desktop OS.

I don't want to do it in a Windows VM. Or on Windows itself. Or even near a window.

I also have a Linux system and just run it in a bash shell. Either way it's quite a fun language to play with.

Of all the scripting languages I've played with, I've quite enjoyed Python, but I do really detest the whole self thing, though you could use this as well. The hardest thing for me to remember is that self is the first parameter of a class' method and all fields belonging to the class are self.fieldName as well, like:
self.cancel = False
def initializeHardware(self):
I found getting used to the indentation style instead of braces was easy enough and familiar enough having played with FP languages.
And the online documentation is decent and lots of guidance (some of it good, some of garbage) can be found on SO.
So, basically, unless I was going to look at .NET Core, Python is definitely my first language choice on Linux. Being more comfortable with Windows, I prefer using VS to do the Python development and then WinSCP it over to the Linux box. The same code can be tested and run as long as you're not doing something too OS or hardware dependent.

Another good reason to do that: It'll force you to figure out exactly what it is you need to run whatever you develop on a machine that's not also your dev box.
There's lots of valuable runtime dependency lessons for a developer to learn on Linux. Who knows, it might even give you a new appreciation for Windows.

Yeah, I'm going to use VSCode for python dev.

I prefer Lua.
Python is more widespread and has more libraries.

I sometimes do R&D projects (from the corporate side) with Universities. Even though they suck at python, they still insist on using it most of the time.
I don't mind it, python is decent enough, but I'm not installing a crappy distro on a VM and sinking hours into setting it up
So I default to the Linux Subsystem for Windows.
It works and it's perfect if you don't care for X11 or Wayland.

I installed Linux so I don’t have to use win 10.
