I do wonder if C programmers ever asked that of Python devs back in the day.
- chadcmulligan 9mo agoStill do
- morshu9001 9mo agoThis is still a thing today. There have been multiple times I oneshot some project that leadership had been waiting on some team forever to finish, and 90% of it was them refusing to touch a "noob" lang like Python or JS.
- habinero 9mo agoAny good engineer can become a good engineer in any language.
- christophilus 9mo agoExcept brainfuck and Haskell.
- zahlman 9mo agoBack in the day, Python devs commonly were C programmers. Someone had to do the implementation, after all. And the C API was (and still is) kind of a big deal. There's a reason the standard library is full of direct ports of C libraries with unsightly, highly un-Pythonic names and APIs. (Of course, it's also full of direct ports of Java libraries with unsightly, highly un-Pythonic architecture.)
