I'm not a programmer, I'm a linguist, and if there's one thing that really fucking triggers me, it's programmers who think python is an imperative language. I know that (technically) it is, but isn't supposed to be.

Look at how fucking retarded this sounds

>DOG! WALK!
>CAT! PURR!
>COMPUTER! RUN!

You're just shouting at your computer like a fucking tard. THAT is how things are when you treat python like it's imperative, when clearly, it just fucking isn't.

By the way this isn't just python, it is ALL programming languages

the following are cringe and basedpilled:

>DOG.WALK()
>CAT.PURR()
>COMPUTER.RUN()

the following are based:

>cat.purrs()
>dog.walks()
>computer.runs()

See? Now you're no longer shouting at your computer. You're just being very calm about everything. You're like "the dog walks", not "DOG! WALK!"

The fact I am the only person who notices this leads me to believe that most programmers are not even fluent in English, let alone a programming language

oops i meant to say basedpilled, not basedpilled

epic fail, better luck next time bud

You don't even know English little nigga

lmao
You're a fraud

They are commands. You're not telling the computer what's going on you're telling it what to do

>>107593681
you have no fucking idea what you are talking about, write more code faggot

>>107593681
Actually, it should be walk.dog(), same for the rest.

Make sure you using lifeform::multicellular::animal::mammal::canid::dog for that.

aw, sweet, a schizo thread

'Member when you got clowned on last time for not knowing what the imperative tense was and had to let your thread die? Now you're back making retarded statements like "python is not an imperative language". You almost certainly don't know why that's retarded, and that amuses me.

Use the proper type name
Animalia::Chordata::Mammalia::Carnivora::Canidae::Canis::C_familiaris dog();

you manage to annoy me with `>`

I know your autism precludes it, but by and large you should use the nomenclature that others understand.

For better or for worse, programmers see the methods as actions the object takes.
>dog.walk() >cat.purr() >computer.run()
is essentially, "dog, start walking.", "cat, start purring", and "computer, begin running."

Most programmers would understand "cat.purrs()" as a method that returns a boolean encoding whether or not the cat *is capable* of purring. Almost as if the function checks that the object adheres to some kind of "purring" interface that all felines do.


Based on this you would be even more mad at functional programming, which would probably look like

>walk(dog)
>purr(cat)
>run(computer)
