Has it ever crossed your mind that they just like Python?

  And slow code, yes it has cross my mind. Usually they also call Python to libraries that are 95% C code.

    The hypocrisy gets even worse: the C code then gets compiled to assembly!
    • pjmlp 1y ago
      Except C developers actually acknowledge that, they don't call libraries written in Assembly, C code.

        Sure they do. https://github.com/OpenMathLib/OpenBLAS https://github.com/OpenMathLib/OpenBLAS https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg Plenty of assembly in those projects but no mention of it in the README. Most C projects don't acknowledge the assembly they use.

  I use Python 90% of my day and I can't say I like it or hate it or care about it at all. I use it because it has all the libraries I need, and LLMs seem to know it pretty well too. It's a great language for people that don't actually care about programming languages and just want to get stuff done.
