Ask HN: Is Python getting too complicated for its own good?

For example, the following are valid modern Python code:

    var: str = "Haha"
    print(f"{var:_>20}")
    print(f"{var:*^20}")
    print(f"{str.lower() = }")

    def concatenate[T: (str, bytes)](first: T, second: T) -> T:
        return first + second

    items = [1, 2, 3]
    items [:]=[]

    items = [1, 2, 3]
    items *=0

    bowl = ['water']
    drink ,= bowl

    n = 3
    ['a', 'b', 'c', *n* ['.']] #> ['a', 'b', 'c', '.', '.', '.']

    a, *_ = (1,2,3)
