Python seems so ... simple, yet beautiful.

(It's just ... a feeling, I only did the codecademy course and doodled on the command line by now.)

But this whitespace/tab thing and the fact that missing semicolons don't result in errors is just fucking confusing.

    I'm starting to study pygame and i love the basic sintax in python... Maybe because i hate semicolons :S

    Ruby is also quite wonderful!

    I think it’s better to think of it as semicolons are optional. If you do like them I believe there is a way to enable raising an exception if one’s missing (iirc). I love Python as a general language! Most of the ‘pythonic’ philosophy just feels so right! Btw, If you do get in to it, Kivy is also a really neat project to check out!!!

    I just love Python:

    Eliminates semicolons and unnecessary {} () to make it easy and quick to write

    Has a lot of in-built functions to save you from making annoying functions and make it easy to read
    And if you don’t find it, there’s a a lot of in-built modules to facilitate your life,
    like regex implementation

    Has a heck of lot of community-made modules/frameworks so you can do a large range of things like AI and deep learning, scientifical calculations, data processing, web dev, etc.

    Writing that much text on phone is hard, continue for me pls

    Oh and btw, DONT FREAKING USE SEMI-COLONS TO END A LINE!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Only use them to stack multiple statements on 1 line

    Honestly python keeps getting better the more you use it. Check out sanic + uvloop for server building. The only thing that I have not liked about it has been the GUI stuff honestly. But kivy is a good project.

    @Root I'll check it out later this year. :)

    @agaskins I don't like them all that much! ^^" (It's just coming back to python in the evening and being confused that the code looks somewhat ... off compared to C#.)
    And thank you for the recommendation, Kivy looks really interesting! :)

    @RedBorg YES! Doing regex and some basic stuff just right out of the box is one thing that just feels great!
    ... so many modules. 8)

    I used a python community module that allows me to upload objects to S3 in less than 10 lines.

    Pretty cool, eh?

    Then use Lua. In my opinion it's as easy as Python but better

    @Skayo what makes it better? I ask out of sincere curiosity, not to troll haha

    <@agaskins>
    - Smaller footprint
    - Uses less memory
    - Faster
    - Nice, simple, very powerful Syntax
    - Not whitespace sensitive as Python which can be confusing to beginners
    - Cool metatables and metamethods
    - Lua tables start at 1. Can be easier for beginners

    Look in this wiki article for more details:

    @Skayo In the end it really depends on what you want to use it for. Programming languages are a means to and end.
