There’s other languages that fit the same criteria that are much better: Scala, OCaml, Racket, or Haskell.
The inherent qualities that draw people to Python are that it’s so inexpressive and crippled that you can learn it in 30 minutes.
- sametmax 7y agoWhat you call crippled, some call it sculpted. What you call inexpressive, some call it readable. You have a lot of contempt to offer, I'll let you with it and get work done.
- newen 7y agoAgreed. Most people who like Python seem to never have had experience with functional languages.
- sametmax 7y agoOf course we do. We just happen to value things you don't. When you don't work with 10x programmers and experience the corporate world, you suddently see purity in a very different light.
- mixmastamyk 7y agoMost people don’t have much experience. Any more middlebrow dismissal to offer?
