Some languages are just worse to work with. like JavaScript. Console.log is like sure I’ll log your object but I’ll tell you what it is now, not what it was when you logged it.
I’ve never had a complaint about logging stuff in python. It generally does what I expect.
“Create a copy of your object and print that” is what I ended up doing, but I don’t think most people would say that’s intuitive. I expect if i print something at a particular time, I get what it is at that point in time.
I’d just like to highlight what you mention below: Logging it as an object allows you to inspect it in the browser console, presumably with some JSON tree representation, rather than just a dumb string.
It’s about writing the code, not execution time. Otherwise Assembly wouldn’t take 7 years…

It’s described in the “Outputting a single object” example here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/console#examples
I can see it going both ways. Talking about execution times, this would be an exaggeration, but then, these memes always are.
