Are you claiming Python _isn't_ a scripting language? If it isn't then what the heck is it?!?
What I find generally from Python developers who have lived an breathed the language for many years is that they accept there are fundamental failings and acknowledge the better means to workaround those.
In reading back through your comments, it seems you are blinkered by those with the benefit of working in other languages. In particular, you seem to have hang ups about C which are not clear why.
Perhaps you'd care to explain those.
- diminoten 8y agoPython is an object oriented programming language, not a "scripting" language. "Scripting" implies writing "scripts" (e.g. #!/usr/bin/python), but that's not it's only (or primary) use case, and in fact creates the problems I've been talking about above. Python the language has plenty of flaws. This conversation was never about Python however, it was about the bad habits C programmers bring to Python enterprise development, and how I struggle to work with C programmers because of those good-in-c-but-bad-in-python habits. I was curious if anyone else experienced these problems, and then you arrived and became a perfect example of the attitudes I encounter regularly from C programmers working in Python. I have no problems with C, it's obviously one of the most (if not the most) important programming languages of our time. My problem is with the habits some C programmers have brought to my Python projects.
- sys_64738 8y agoIt's clear you've had an unpleasant experience in the past. It's sounds like maybe you were burned in that experience and dumped the blame on a particular group.
