Python is so easy to write, use and read, I would not understand how a programmer would not know it already.
It literally has everything you want in a language.
Granted, it's not on-the-metal fast, and it still has some gimmicks, like variables behaving like pointers or references (which can be a little awkward), but still, python is the language of the decade.
- retro64 10y agoUgh. I tell you, I keep trying to pick it up because I hear so much about it. However, when I code in it I feel completely uninspired. I can only get so far into a book or tutorial before my eyes glaze over and I'm thinking about something else. I think when I code, I want to own the machine, not just skate on the surface. Python doesn't even crank my engine the way BASIC did years ago. I also think part of my problem is it doesn't solve any needs right now.
- jokoon 10y agoWell python is not for solving hard problems. If you want to own the machine you need C++ or C. Python is a language that makes programming easy. That's a lot.
