I've seen things, you see, terrible _ things.

- pkrumins 5y agoPython is the ugliest garbage language ever created. The fact that it forces indenting alone is a reason to never use it. Let alone all other garbage features it has that no one needs (all PEPs that are irrelevant and should be left to users).
- Andrew_nenakhov 5y agoI adore forced indenting. Always hated curly braces and begin ends, which needlessly eat away lines

- visarga 5y agoI love and use both. Python is more friendly but Perl is just as fun.
- pkrumins 5y agoWe can't be friends but you are right about Perl.
- cillian64 5y agoI guess this is a big difference between perl and python. Perl gives you a powerful concise syntax and relies on you to either try quite hard to keep things sensible and readable or deal with the monstrosity you create. Python tries to coerce you into producing something more reasonable. Language preference might come down to whether you have to read/debug other people’s code which was not written in an empathetic manner. Years of dealing with horrendous buggy legacy C is probably why I’m currently so enthusiastic about rust right now.
- goatlover 5y agoEveryone indents their code anyway. That is if it's at all meant to be readable.
- sirsinsalot 5y agoThis dogmatic bad mouthing of other people's tools is boring, immature and frankly below intelligent discussion. Sad really. Let people be happy. I was sure everyone who engaged in thin and baseless language flame wars in the 90s grew up and moved on. It appears I was wrong.
