Happy to see someone down-voting a comment that suggests you examine your requirements for a language because it dares to challenge the supremacy of python and suggests that adults are perfectly capable of choosing a language appropriate for the task, even if that language is COBOL. Stay classy, HN.
- diarrhea 4y agoI didn’t vote, but your take on Python doesn’t match my experience. Do you have more context? It seems like after the transition to version 3, the lesson was learned. That was about a decade ago now.
- dingosity 4y ago2.3 to 2.5 - changed the syntax and semantics of the language by adding class variables. 2.5 to 2.7 - changed semantics by changing class variable to package variables. Certainly you're not claiming Python hasn't made breaking changes in the syntax or semantics over the years? I mean... this still compiles with my c compiler: ??=include <stdio.h> int main( argc, argv ) int argc; char *argv[]; ??< printf( "hello %d %s\n", argc, argv[0] ); ??> Though... gcc makes you add the -trigraph option.
