   I prefer to read python code with type hints than without. That's like documentation. Also the IDE can detect errors this way.

   By your arbitrary metric, I work on both small and big projects. Not sure how the loc metric relates to the matter though.

   If I had such need, I guess I could have two versions of the requirements.txt: - One with direct dependencies (versions pinned) - One with direct dependencies + subdependencies (pip freeze output) Am I being too naive ? (obviously yes if su

   Thanks for the link, interesting read. I still think this is all too convoluted though. I hope an accepted de facto standard for this will emerge at some point.

   I don't get it either... nor do I understand why venv is considered difficult to use. "It automatically creates and manages a virtualenv for your projects, as well as adds/removes packages from your Pipfile as you install&#x2

    That's my point: everyone has to learn a bit of english, and that's good. It's good for everyone. It's a personal annoyance at first but with a bit of effort you turn it into a personal skill which then benefits to every

    Missing the point... Everyone has to jump that barrier so that there's no barrier between us, which is much more important.

    > CPU concurrency is definitely one of those issues. Yes, and each new version actually adresses that, one step at a time. (see https://bugs.python.org/issue35813 for example).

    I can understand the nostalgia and creativity and all of this. But there are two sides to this story. I had flash courses where a significant amount of effort was put into making loading bars... and that pretty much sums up Flash for me: so

    Love Nim ! Key points for me: - familiar, easy to read syntax - great performance - standalone executables / ease of deployment - easy interfacing with C and C++ code I would love to see its community grow and see more available libs.

    PA is fine for most needs. It's just not suitable for pro audio / music producing aplpications though. Niche problem, I agree, but still... (Jack is used here).

    Ah ! Nim... as a Pythonista, I'm loving its aesthetics. However in the end it's all about community support, available libs, tooling...

    I started tinkering with linux the same year but with Mandrake instead. It felt just like the beginning of the web, some kind of far west where anything was possible, with no clear tracks to follow.
