There were several Python versions shown at the link and the latter one that I was referring to does not read it all into memory. It loops through each line in only three lines of code, not like 1/4 of a page.
I tried just pasting the code into the window, but never learned how to format HN on mobile. Sorry for the confusion. After the colon there are indents, so 3 separate lines.
with open('testfile.txt') as f:
for line in f:
print(line.strip())
- draven 2y agoI think Haskell seems harder because it's built on another set of abstractions (laziness, typeclasses) where Python abstractions (iterators in this case, plus the with statement for resource acquisition/cleanup) are more common, but I could be wrong (I've been working with Scala for close to a decade now so functional style looks more familiar that imperative now.) (I also always forget how to format comments, the ref is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc )
