Moderation is key.

Python absolutely is faster to get things going since it’s a lot more simple and flexible, that was never a point of contention, but it goes back to the issue of tech debt. The more you take advantage of Python’s simplicity and flexibility, the more pain you’ll be in when you need to untangle the mess and work out performance issues later on.

Rust is a finished language, as much as one can be anyway. It’s stable and doesn’t have breaking changes. The editions mechanism means they can introduce more dramatic changes, but your older code will still function by assigning it an edition and you can always upgrade by making the changes necessary to jump to a later edition.

Yeah, the argument for the indentation in Python is to enforce good formatting, but these days an IDE will do the good formatting for you, so now all that indenting does is make copying and pasting error-prone. Maybe that’s a benefit since it’d force you to look at what you copied and pasted. I’ve also heard about the Python vs Perl thing, but also Python looks a lot more welcoming to a beginner and is easier to pick up. I’m sure Perl fumbling contributed, but a lot of newer projects would’ve probably gone with Python anyway, like the data science stuff where the easy interface is exposed through a Python library and all the messy stuff is just C or C++ underneath.

“This is an animalistic society that sanctifies death.”

The projection is strong with this fascist bitch.

That’s literally American censorship and you can see the same pattern on all large American social media platforms. Youtube has the gamer to fascist pipeline set up with their recommendation system. Facebook recently did an “about face” which was really just making official their love of fascism. Twitter… is twitter. The capitalist class has always been fine with fascism and the platforms they own reflect that. Language is policed more than fascist rhetoric because advertisers don’t like the language.

Oh, well that makes it completely useless then.

I don’t like indentation affecting which block code belongs to, its poor type safety (with type hints being a minor band-aid), awful multithreading capabilities (being able to disable the GIL now helps but introduces its own issues), and multiple design decisions which, although make Python flexible and dynamic, make it hard to optimize running Python code and so all the performant libraries are written in something else like C and then you’re stuck having that as a dependency.

T-that’s just a coincidence…!

Just joking since I’m not a fan of Python’s design choices, but I do worry that as development goes on the tech debt will pile up and will be more difficult to maintain.

Gamers back then were crying about it being unoptimized back then too. There is no care about what the game accomplishes, only that it has to run perfectly smooth on their hardware.

It helps Call of Duty 4 in that their levels were a lot more restricted and didn’t have all the physics and AI calculations that Crysis had to do. Even then, Crysis had better graphics and more advanced effects.

Capital A Anus.

Yeah but it’s written in Python.

One sweet potato please.

Don’t worry, the 401(k) will be rug pulled as well even if the future exists.

pissy juice

They would decry the lack of decorum and say it’s the wrong way to protest.

Harsh but true. The downvoters aren’t interested in reading the reality of the situation, and it does suck to see entire countries being treated as expendable pawns, but that’s just how the game of global politics is played.

There is a reason why the west is not authorizing Ukraine to strike more aggressively deep within Russia even when Ukraine put in the hard work and made the sacrifice to counter the invasion.

If you know it all, why don’t you know how to win an election?
