Python is literally that one disgusting fat chick that's

>literally the only thing this h8er bitches about is syntax
truly the mark of a god-tier language

Pathetic.

Try Ruby, the young hot sister of that fat chick.

I like Python because
I did a script in 10 min without know programming using shell commands stolen in stackerflow
Its nice that you Can import an other programming language

Python is an easy to use language that has libraries for literally anything.

Disadvantage is it's slow. But high performance might be completely necessary for a lot of automated tasks.

>>58799119
Its really good for analytics and ML work I hear, I've been meaning to learn it. Might make a start tomorrow.

Literally end your life.

>It feels great to use, but horrid to look at. Syntax is so ass backwards for so many things, but no one can deny the native libraries like os/socket/sys combined with the wealth of sec tools written for the language aren't great.
It means you can't write a code that looks good.

It's been a long while, but I seem to remember people favoring perl over python for the tasks you've mentioned.

Did something change while I was gone?

>>58803175
nobody under the age of 75 writes Perl anymore

Yeh, felt exactly the same at the start. The white space is weird.

Once you get used to it and you follow pep8, i find debugging code is way faster and I couldn't figure out why for the longest time.

I think it has to do with blocks of code and how the whitespace forces it.

I don't give to much of a shit about the esoteric arguments for languages you see on programming sites. I'd code in morse if it was best for the situation.

Python is intuitive to code in. It is slower but computing power is so cheap. You can get around the gil easily and distribute processing in one's sleep.

The best thing about it are the infinite well written libraries. Machine learning, natural language processing, etc. Plus apis for most popular libraries in other languages. Raspberry pi hardware interface stuff. All the scientific libraries are so useful. The are so many scientist writing interesting things in the language is really helpful with any idea you might have.

The fuck are you talking about? Fat chicks are never good fucks, they just give amazing blowjobs.
