Executable pseudocode is an oxymoron.
- unethical_ban 1y ago"essentially", come now. The point is that python's syntax reads a lot more plainly and logically for learning than something like Java.
- NewsaHackO 1y agoI am confused, what is the relevance of the word essentially?
- unethical_ban 1y agoDo you agree or disagree that Python is more readable/closer to pseudocode than say Java or C++? Less syntactic sugar, no need to define namespaces/classes, more intuitive for declarations, etc.
- NewsaHackO 1y agoWould you consider essentially dry water to be semantically correct phrase?
- unethical_ban 1y agoI understood the meaning of their phrase and explained it. You assert that the original phrase is incomprehensible and meaningless. We see things differently.
- ted_dunning 1y agoAnd so is Python in many ways. The shoe fits.
- gjm11 1y agoAn oxymoron is a word or phrase that contradicts itself (the word comes from Greek bits meaning "sharp" and "soft"). It doesn't make any sense at all to say that Python is an oxymoron. Python-the-language isn't the kind of thing that can be an oxymoron; "Python"-the-name obviously isn't one because it doesn't have two parts that could contradict one another. Does your comment mean anything other than "I don't like Python very much", and if so what?
