That's not quite what I was trying to say. What I was saying is that there's many splits in the Python community. I work on large distributed systems, and have zero experience with quantum computing or advanced maths.
But, I'm a curious individual. I'd love if the academic Python community (to try to put a label on it) would all write code that was "idomatic". I know that "idomatic" is a problmatic term, but specifically I'm asking for people to follow PEP-8 and generally follow the ethos of `import this`.
Once we're speaking a common vernacular, we can better share ideas.
- cyphar 10y agoNote that many researchers in fields other than computer science do not program for fun. They know their code isn't the best in the world, but they'd rather spend their time testing hypothesis rather than reading screeds about the "right way" of formatting some bits on their disk. My experience with most other researchers' code is that taking the logic and rewriting the code is more efficient than trying to fix the code they've shown you. But they deserve respect for not evangelising formatting over function -- a form of respect I cannot extend to you.
