I'm dong it again:
Just learning Python to teach it to someone else.

P.s. I always knew that my hatred of Python was not out of my mere ignorance.

    @SortOfTested Yes, it's nice. But it could also be done with lambda functions.

    It could be done with assembly too, but I wouldn't want to write it. 😂

    Scala's variation is even better at unrolling into expressions.

    Python is one of those languages that is simultaneously rage inducing and my go-to language for hacking together quick prototypes when I'm tinkering with something...idk why I keep putting myself through this. I'm tempted to pick up scala for local dev work

    I don't know Scala either, but at least it is statically typed :\

    @beleg is your primary language of choice strongly typed? I'm accustomed to c# and typescript, so it may be the lack of typing that is so frustrating

    @beleg @SortOfTested meh, monad comprehension for the win (of which list comprehension is a special case)

    @valkn0t Yes, I'm a Java guy. But it's more than just typing.

    Is this object oriented?

    @RememberMe That's how I like it, TYPED.

    For any other language i would deem that too much an effort.
    But Python is so easy to learn and git good -f origin main at, that it probably is more like taking a day off to relax... Especially when using PyCharm as IDE it really feels like cheating.

    I didn't think much of python for a long time, but then I tried it once because I was helping a friend that was learning it in uni... I came to absolitely love it. It's not my first choice for actual projects, that's always C++ for me, but for any quick prototyping, just having fun or needing something simple to automate... If I don't want to do it in shell I'd reach for python

    Python is incredible to put something together in record time.

    I see Python as a modern Perl tbh - allows you to throw together something really quickly, but I wouldn't use it on anything big - not out of choice anyway. Exception being anything ML based where it's the only sane option.

    @rooter I know, and I don't worry. I'm just saying it's far from the object oriented I know.
