If Python has a million fans, I’m one of them

If Python has a 5 fans, I’m one of them

If Python has no fans, I’m no longer alive

If the world is against Python I’m against the entire world

Till my last breath I will support Python

@nixCraft Have you tried Perl?

@nixCraft Same here but not with Python. I still love and use Logo. Over the last 40 years I used a lot of programming languages, but the playfulness of Logo always brought me back to my basics.

@bigmike @nixCraft I missread as Lego and it still made sense to me.

@sigi714 Fun fact: Legos programming language in their computing brick is based on Logo

@nixCraft Python is good until I see golang 
Show threadCatnipJun 8, 2024

@aleksana @nixCraft Golang is good until I comment a line. The compiler then refuses to compile until I add an _ before a variable declaration, or comment the line. Then it complains that one of the imports becomes unused, so I have to go comment a line at the start of the file.

Eventually it compiles only for the commented line to not be the right one. I then need to ctrl+Z the right number of times and repeat until I am done debugging a simple thing or I give up on the language.

Never again

@aleksana @nixCraft To alleviate the unused variable issue:
func mark_as_used(_ ...interface{}){}

@nixCraft If you have to do machine learning and/or quantum computing, Python is fine. Otherwise just use Perl. It's way better.
