Boiler plate gets in the way of solving the problem you're writing code for. IMHO it's too much detail to force on someone new. There are reasons not to use python, but it's better to let people discover them than to try to explain it all up front.
- jppittma 3y agoIf you're just trying to hack something together and make it work, I'd agree that python is the best, even for somebody who's never written a line of code in their life. If you're trying to train somebody to be a software engineer, rather than just automating a particular data entry task as quickly as possible, I think boiler plate is good. It's better to force the details on the person at first than to have them be hidden, automatic, and mysterious forever.
