Python isnt bad tho

[–] bl_r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (3 children)

It’s the best scripting language I know of, but man I hate dynamically types languages. I am so used to rust and C/C++ that reading any large script or program will drive me insane

And the whitespace instead of {} tokens…

[–] thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The whitespace doesn't bother me at all, but holy hell! Any time I'm trying to understand a Python program/library that's anything above a couple thousand lines of code, I instantly feel a burning hate for dynamic typing.

I love Python for scripting- in large part because of dynamic typing. IMO it's just not a language made for building large infrastructures.

Exactly.

I use it a lot on my systems for very simple scripts because I am significantly more experienced in python compared to bash.

I remember getting given a 10k line python script which “was the documentation” for an API i had to interact with using powershell. I hated life so much because of that stupid project.

I've had the joy of working on a python project with strict type checking enforced in CI and wow is it a different experience. Am a big fan.

I can handle dynamically typed, but the whitespace thing kills me. I kind of really like PowerShell.
