Rust lost in the semis against Python, but just secured the 3rd place medal against Lua.

@fribbledom okay you need to make the new threads as response to the old ones, or link back or something because its hard to find the results otherwise.

@felix

Just use the hash-tag or check out my profile's posts.

@fribbledom right i didnt think of the hashtag. anyway i'm looking forward to the next championship! any plans for that?

@felix

(The advantage is that the context for each poll's replies becomes a little less messy to follow, because they're kept as entirely separate threads)

Anyway, we'll definitely do a third edition of the championship! Probably not before January 2021 though 😆 Once a year should be enough, I guess.

@fribbledom maybe there are other topics to do this, though i cant think of any

@felix @fribbledom communist icons:

Stalin vs Mao

@ekaitz_zarraga @fribbledom oh this is a good one

@felix I only have good ideas.

@ekaitz_zarraga @fribbledom should be either marx or lenin winning in tht tournament. maybe we can also take some anarchists in.

@felix @ekaitz_zarraga @fribbledom Flora Tristan ✊

@felix
Escribió entre otros libros "Unión obrera" se dice que Marx lo tenía. A ella se le atribuye la frase "Proletarios del mundo, uníos!" Pero la historia la olvidó. (Estaba intentando ponerlo en inglés pero me he rendido)

@felix @fribbledom At some point we should write a bot that does this contest 24/7/365.

@felix @fribbledom a &mut was borrowed at the 3rd place vote

@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

@pxi More like a Supreme Commander¹ vs. a F1 car. Yes it's slow. But it can build everything in record time.

@pxi @fribbledom And how many people do you know that drive Chevys vs. F1 cars?

@bifilarcoil

What are you referring to?

@fribbledom

Should Python really be able to defend its title? Is C still the lingua franca of programming in 2020?

@bifilarcoil

I'm not sure how that could be considered election meddling...

@fribbledom

Just a little influencer is enough to flip the vote on the one who is most likely to win.

@fribbledom

Probably not planned in your case, but this is exactly how it's done.

@bifilarcoil

So what are you reading into it? Which language do you see being favored by these statements?

@fribbledom

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.

@Parnikkapore @fribbledom

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

@haskal @fribbledom I'm with you on that.
