Which programming language can do everything Python can, but better?
>>60039028
JavaScript
Julia
>>60039120
no
COHFEEEYA~
>>60039028
OCaml
>>60039028
C
40% of Python's Source Code is in C btw
>>60039157
No. Simplest counterexample: a web application. Good luck and have fun.
>>60039157
C is better, but not for the kind of person using Python.
Server & UI = Typescript
Low mememory stuff = Lua.
I really don't see a reason to use python desu.
>>60039028
Swift
Perl
>>60039028
bash
>>60039028
ML.
Haskell
>>60039204
I'm doing that right now snakefag
>>60039209
Gr8 stuff
Plebs not writing everything in assembly.
>>60039853
Sure, you can do it. You can even do it without holes. It just isn't likely that your app won't full of exploits.
>>60039028
Perl unironically. Don't let memers convince you is a bad language, they probably haven't use it.
Is good for rapid prototyping, scripting, etc.
>>60039028
Why do you want to know, OP? Is it because you just must have something superior to the people around you? Why don't you just grow the fuck up and learn Python. Stop trying to be some special snowflake.

I know Python, the thing is I want to move beyond it because I feel like I'm relying on it too much. I know it's an easy trap to fall into, so I want to go beyond it.
>>60039028
>better
any language
>easier
none
>>60039028
Every programming language does the same thing but in different ways. Python is better at some things others are better at other things. None are best at all things because personal preference, style, familiarity.... It is just a matter of personal choice
does any other language have a library as good as python's?
>>60041033
No. Perl has cpan, though.
>>60039853
literally how? How do I set up a fucking websocket in C?
go or rust might be able to, eventually
right now, none
+1 Assembly. Can't go wrong with this.
>>60041081
go feels like an attempt at a compiled, stricter python, but the need to copy/paste methods for different types is annoying
>>60039028
scheme
>>60039120
python can do threads for i/o
>>60041212
I can assure you that the person who eventually has to maintain and modify your code base in the future does not find it annoying.
Composition > Clusterfuck Inheritance for maintenance purposes.
>>60039028
Go and Rust could one day, but as another anon mentioned, they lack the library support.
JavaScript is actually beginning to match Python's library for back-end web applications, however. JavaScript itself might overtake Python one day, off the sheer fact that it is hardwired into your browser, unlike Python that can effectively be replaced in every domain given enough time. You don't NEED to use Python for anything, it is just convenient.
Ruby

i fucking hope not. i hate javascript. it has so many weird shit that doesn't make sense. i've coded in more than a handful of languages (including shit like assembly, lisp and prolog) but i can never understand javascript and its stupid quirks
>>60039028
D
Core libraries in it rock, generally about as much code as Python to do the same things. Just compiled, and way faster.
>>60039853
I hope you get it done by the next decade
>>60039028
have fun chasing 'ze best' programming language while simultaneously never mastering one.
>>60039889
I didn't know it was 1968.
Lua
>>60043997
You can't even write a kernel in D, and it has the nerv to call itself a systems language.
Fucking trash.
