@walruslifestyle @fribbledom Give me braces! Not /meaningful indent/!
@walruslifestyle @fribbledom [Like, you should absolutely indent your code. But if indent doesn't affect flow, then you can use autoindent tools and such.]
@IceWolf @walruslifestyle @fribbledom I'd really appreciate if Python has an keyword you can optionally end an indent level with (no-op other than syntax checking).
@walruslifestyle @fribbledom it's still better than C though
@fribbledom COME ON ME SNAKEY BOI :D
@fribbledom How is Python beating C?
@fribbledom can't believe I missed this until the final. Also surprised Julia was on the list, I don't think I've ever actually seen it in the wild
@fribbledom C all the way, been working with python all week and I'd rather C... I mean don't get me wrong, I wouldn't really want to use C for backend web dev... but if I had to pick a language I'd sooner go for C# or Java or Kotlin, nice middle ground...
@fribbledom This is going to be a close one
GRANDPA vs SNAPPY SNEK
What are you referring to?
Should Python really be able to defend its title? Is C still the lingua franca of programming in 2020?
I'm not sure how that could be considered election meddling...
Just a little influencer is enough to flip the vote on the one who is most likely to win.
Probably not planned in your case, but this is exactly how it's done.
So what are you reading into it? Which language do you see being favored by these statements?
It is very interesting how the mind works, and I have not been able to find a good example just yet. What happened here is closest to having one.. It's that subtile.
A man called Bernay's might be able to explain this.
:-) this is actually awesome to gain the insight and yet not being able to explain how it works.
@bifilarcoil @fribbledom My interpretation: literally reading the text suggests that you think Python doesn't deserve to be a winner.
No, whoever wins is fine with me, this is why I suggested to delete my comments.
It is just damn interesting how this works between the ears.
In fact i'm curious who would win between Arduino simplified C and MicroPython
@fribbledom I admit I'm sad the two finalists were weakly typed languages 😂
@fribbledom Bash is the lingua franca of programming.
@fribbledom
can i vote no confidence tbh
@haskal @fribbledom I'm with you on that.
@fribbledom
At this moment in time 52% of the people are wrong
@fribbledom Oh boy, this is going to be a close battle!
@fribbledom C is the first proper language I really liked. I remember tutorials in Amiga Format and they were above my head as a teenager, and how good it felt when I could finally do scientific coding in it. But I think Python is the world glue now.
So it's Buttigieg vs Biden?
@fribbledom Python is based on C....
@fribbledom I'm abstaining. I'm shocked these are the final two 😂
@fribbledom C is better though. >.>
@gudenau @fribbledom I mean, I guess it depends on what better means. Seems more like a popularity contest, which isn't necessarily bad.
C is more performant for sure.... But Python is easier to learn...
@charims @fribbledom C was much easier to learn than Python for me....
@gudenau @fribbledom Exactly why any choice is going to be personal.
@fribbledom c makes the backbone but python is user-friendly. Without either the world would be a worse off place.
@fribbledom thank heavens we escaped without having to manage our own heap
@fribbledom this is so horrible python is horrible
