Fair enough I suppose, but I'm still seeing posts like the OP getting linked all over the place by people trying to disparage python as a language.
Of course once you get more deeply into a language it's probably a really good thing to get to know all the weird edge cases. One of my favorite past-times is writing intentionally terrible code just to exercise some of those edge cases. For instance this hello world code uses quite some oddball language features: https://gist.github.com/SuperDoxin/fde4fdad237e85a90c8764cdf88eadf5 https://gist.github.com/SuperDoxin/fde4fdad237e85a90c8764cdf...
- foolfoolz 6y agothis is the same defense against the php and javascript posts: if you know the entire language really well none of these are actually problems
- Doxin 6y agoIf you'll read more carefully you'll find that that's not what I said. I said none of these are problems you'll run into. Even as a newcomer. Once you're getting better at the language it's nice to know these edge cases because they teach you details about the language you'd otherwise miss out on.
