btw, python sucks

| im gonna complete the study of python, but it sucks; Damn, im gonna do cool stuff with python, bullshit, calculator and even that, i dont know. python is cool, but it sucks.


| At least consider yourself happy you didn't learn PHP instead. If you want to pick up a new language I'd suggest a statically typed one, even better if it's got functional programming facilities.


| Haha, you guys have never had to use delphi huh?


| I wonder why delphi is still used. What benefits does it have?

I also don't really like Python, the thing I hate the most is that forced identation that causes conflicts when some people uses spaces and some others use tabs, why the hell would they do that?

python is probably one the most useful languages you can learn. have some repetitive mundane shit to do? write a python script for it. i have a metric asston of scripts sprinkled allover my computers doing all sorts of useful thing, so i have more time for anime and games.


| >>378252 Perl would be a good alternative if you mainly want to create text faster.


| So you never actually said why you think python sucks


| >>377914
>i wrote a file encryptor with aes encryption on python in litteraly a day
>someone says it's shitty

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... Indeed it's not as fast as i would want but it does his work properly, and you can write programs on it ultra fast... It's not like some jAvA ZKriPt


| Eew Java is more awful indeed


| What do you gurls think bout the good old C?


| >>379641
Kinda crappy when you have c++, am i wrong?


| >>379749
>Am I wrong?
You haven't even made a single argument as to why C is crappy.


| >>379778
I wanted to hear them from others.
In c++ you have OOP, that gives you the possibility to write heavy code with high complexity, in c you don't have it. Also in c++ you have easier syntax if i remember correctly. That's why i prefer c++


| >>379800
>Also in c++ you have easier syntax if i remember correctly
In what world does C++ have easier syntax? Each iteration of the C++ standard has introduced more and more rules and facilities which've kept on growing the language. Lambdas, constexprs, template meta-programming, new datatypes (C++17), and so on. All the while C has pretty much stayed the same and consistend across decades.


| >>379800
OOP is one form of abstraction with which you can build complex programs. And C does just fine with functions and structs. Linux and most GNU software is written in C and is quite complex while retaining good code quality. OOP isn't the ultimate programming paradigm, even if some schools make you believe it.


| >>379811 those extras indeed are not so easy things but they didnt change the syntax, or at least not so much. Also if you start exploring what those extras mean, some of them are very useful>>379814
The point of oop is the get cleaner code that would be easier to understand, and it does his job very well. I'm actually working with a very big program that has lots of code, and thanks to oop i can easily understand what's going on here.


| >>379814 i don't say that anything not oop is shit, but i say that oop makes life easier


| >>379825
eh, depends on who you ask I guess. I can program quicker in procedural languages.


| >>379918 quicker doesnt mean cleaner and doesnt mean easier to understand to someone else, especially when dealing with huge amounts of codes.


| It's almost like languages are good for different things


| True, Lua is easier, faster, cleaner, better. I don't know why people use python instead of Lua tbh.


| >>380007
What's the difference? They're both interpreted procedural imperative languages.


| >>380005
Yeah, except the only thing most "programmers" nowdays do are websites.


| >>380010
>litteraly everything on your computer is being updated and done by "programmers"
>about less than 30% of programmers choose websites, others choose to do real programs

Is it a bait or something? Or maybe are you blind?


| >>380040
I don't believe that 30% statistic


| >>380040
Yeah, show us the reciepts.
Those are "web-developers", don't call them "programmers"


| Alright, so I was the lead dev for a project in class. We had to make something that did something. So what did we make? An ai that transcribes lectures into brief notes. What languages? Entirely MOTHER F R I C K I N G python and php. A little bit of C++ sprinkled in, and it was an absolute nightmare.


|


| >>380469 is this the argument why python is bad or just sharing


| >>380469
I don't know which part you didn't like but doing ai in python is really the EASIEST way, like really, if you would do it in something like c or cpp you would probably die. And that's python's best point, simplicity


| I'm quite sure that people used Lisp for AI development some decades ago. Maybe we are just becoming lazy or dumb.


| brainlet here, how do you guys advance further after finishing basic c++ tutorial?
I'm half way done with the tutorial on that cplusplus site but have no idea what to do next, not particularly keen on making a game


| >>380914 just find some tool you need or want or just think would be interesting to see if you could do the same thing and write some code


| I like python, it's really comfy. Python, C and Go are the bae languages for me.


| You can tell how I view my workload by if I program in Python or not. If I write a script in python, that means I really hate the task.


| >Discussing how C++ is better than C, but not even mentioning C#


| So uhh anyone going to give examples of why python sucks like the title or..


| >>536a69 Fuck no. Why even take the time to bother with such low hinging fruit.


| >>379814
I like how you worded that a lot!
>>380005
I know, right?


| >>379825
I don't think the one you replied to ever even implied that you thought that anything not object oriented sucked...


| >>380753 the ai wasn't the problem, it went together really nicely actually. The problem was making it work with everything else nicely


| >>381301 well it's the role of the post


| >>380963 golang is great, until you have to handle errors


| >>378444
Trips of truth, but who the fuck uses PERL these days?


| >>382134 I heard it's common in quantum computing
