I even more stupid than Anton, I use C instead of Go and Perl instead of Python. I do not use Docker. I distrubute my code with Makefiles. I do not use CMake.

Oh come on. C is harder than go and perl harder than python.

  Well, I tried to learn some Python, but I failed. As for Go, perhaps you are right. A good friend of mine, some elder hacker, switched to Go and suggests it to me, but I just have no time for learning one more language to get same job done. I think I'm getting old and concervative. I feel my brain is no longer as sharp and productive as it used to be some 20 or 30 years ago. It takes me much more time to comprehend new ideas and practices. Also, when I code in C, I experience warm nostalgic feeling of my youth, I feel invisible strings of ties with all those great minds like Ritchie, Thompson and Kernigan. ;)

    > Well, I tried to learn some Python, but I failed. Brother, unless you tried to start with class metaprogramming or something, there's no way someone proficient with C to have struggles with basic python. Probably you didn't find a good resource. There are always resources like "X for Y programmer", this is what a quick Google search finds: https://engineering.purdue.edu/~milind/datascience/2018spring/notes/lecture-2.pdf https://engineering.purdue.edu/~milind/datascience/2018sprin... Or you learned the basics, held yourself to high standards, and got bored by all the dynamism / OOP details of python. Then let me tell you - 70% of python programmer don't use anything beyond basic OOP.

I must be even stupider than you, because C and Perl and Make seem vastly more complicated to me than Python & Docker. But I suppose fish don't find it hard to breathe in water, either.
