My programming experience went from bash to c to sorta c++ but really c. That was me for ~10 years. I got into python 2 years ago. I can easily and affirmatively say I won't be coding in C ever again. You might try to argue that you need C for X, Y, or Z. You are certainly right, BUT really you really just identified the X, Y, or Z place that needs someone to start converting to python. You should be that person! I believe in you!
I <3 Python so much. I highly recommend every C programmer give python a good try, your next hobby project better be a python project.. You will do the same thing and love Python.
- markus_zhang 5y agoJust some thoughts, shouldn't C and Python be used in completely different projects?

- markus_zhang 5y agoAh yes definitely true. I'd say different parts of the project.
- tradrich 5y agoPython and C++ are relatively easily mixed in fact. Check out pybind11: https://pybind11.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ https://pybind11.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
- incomingpain 5y agoInteresting. Unusual because I often see people using numpy or boost to get access to fast data types. I'll have to remember to give this a try.
