This is unironically the reason I come back to Python again and again. The language itself is not my favorite: it 'should' be different. But my productivity with it is frankly unmatched.
The "zip" example is an excellent case study. The actual "zip" is by default lazy, it accepts arbitrary iterators, etc. It's the "correct" solution, unlike the one presented in the article, and I have it at my fingertips, in the standard library.
- canadianfella 4y ago> This is unironically the reason Can I ask an off topic question? Where did this sudden popular use of “unironically” come from? I don’t get it. Why would it be ironic? It reminds me of the sudden rise of “literally” a decade or so ago.
- Joker_vD 4y ago"Unironically" here means "seriously", "literally", "actually", etc. It's basically a marker that the speaker is speaking straightly and plainly, without trying to make a joke. Yes, it's not really antonymous to "ironically" (in the narrower sense of this word) in this context.
- nerdponx 4y agoI think it's fairly literal, there's a whole brand of humor around pretending to like things that you actually like. "I like C because of all the undefined behavior". But this is also how word meanings shift over time. Someone will see someone else using that word and not know what it means, but then start using it, etc.
