Python is the BASIC of our time
it's true though
facts. tis also the reason why I hate static-typing-good-for-nothing-code-monkeys defecating their type signatures on an innocent dynamic language. guido included.
$NEWTHING is the $OLDTHING of our time$OPTIONPROVEMEWRONG
>>101214809basically
I was super productive with visual basic but with python I feel like I'm fighting an uphill battle to do anything more sophisticated than a command line utility. Makes me feel tarded
>>101214809Sorry nerd, pascal and assembly is the way to go nowadays, only retards and nigtards use anything other than that
Perl*
it is PySIC
>>101218733That's an interesting world you have in your head. Pity it doesn't correspond to anything in reality.I liked TurboPascal a lot 30 years ago, but it had some really hard limits that were very annoying. C was more effective overall. (Asm is based but not very portable.)
Yet BASIC is harder and smarter
>>101220666In what way is BASIC smarter? What can you do better in BASIC?

>>101223547I'm really tired of tards posting Dijkstra quotes under every topic he has mentioned once.

Holly shit
>>101214809*in terms of expressivity btw, obviouslytThat's how shitty and clunky Python is.
>>101214809Pretty much. I think it would be better to make C the standard intro language. I had 3 classes where Python was the language I had to learn or use primarily for projects. I hate it but understand the zoomers noobies need their hand held.
>>101214809ya
>>101223547It's worth noting that he was talking about very early BASIC, which did genuinely have a ton of horrible constructs that led to terrible programming habits.
>>101214809
>>101224848yeah, nice containment PL
