Disregarding the fact that python is an awful programming language for anthing other than jupyter notebooks

• pjmlp 3y ago
  Another one that hasn't seen UNIX scripting in shell languages or Perl, Apache modules, before Python came to be.

    I wrote tons of perl in my life. I would rather keep writing perl than touching python. Every time I see a nice utility and see that it's written in python - tab closed.
    • pjmlp 3y ago
      Perl code is nice to write, as long as we don't need to debug scripts written by someone else.

  Facts are objective; "Python is awful" is your opinion.

  Ah I'd say the exact opposite, python in general is pretty good but jupyter sucks because the syntax isn't compatible with regular python and I avoid it like the plague.

    What does a jupyter notebook have to do with python syntax?
    • moffkalast 3y ago
      Take the code you find in an average notebook, copy it to a .py text file, run it with python. Does it run? In my experience the answer is usually 'no' because of some extra-ass syntax sugar jupyter has that doesn't exist in python.

  This comment is really just bordering on a rule violation and doesn’t add to the conversation at all.
