    I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Python, like most languages, can be as complex as you make it.

    Best scientific packages in the open source by far, a library for everything, everybody knows it. Works on all kinds of systems. Available by default in many OSs.

    You might not like it, but you can’t leave.

      The summary that I liked from the last post was “python is the second best language for everything”. There’s always something specialized and better for every given job. But, if you want one tool that’ll do a solid job everywhere, python is your go to.

    I didnt upvote the other python-beginer friendly meme cause it wasn’t accurate. But this one is on point.

    oh my fuck. circular imports.

    I set out to create a Discord Bot in Python, then gave up trying to use an easy “proper” server-side language and just did it in TypeScript

    “Print needs ()”

      Meanwhile Nim:

      echo "I am still worthy"

      let a = r"I hate the ugly '\' at the end of " &
         "multiline statements"

      for x in 0..9:
  if x == 6: echo x

echo x # this is error in Nim, but not in python. Insane!

      assert false + 1 # this is an error (python devs in shambles)
assert true - 1 # see above

      Thanks for coming to my Ted-talk.

      But the Lord came down to see the city OS and the tower app the people were building. The Lord said, “If as one people speaking programming the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”

      So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city OS. That is why it was called Babel—because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
