Devs still too lazy to switch to Python3, cling to Python2 with all their might.
Slow as fuck, everything in python that actually needs performance is written in C anyway.

Are you retarded? If you can find an optimised and well-used (hence well-debugged) module for a given task, you should generally speaking use it instead of coding your own.

It's like you're some basement autist instead of an actual programmer.

Impossible to feel superior to everyone else when typing psuedo code

That's not quite the same. The idiot developer confused mixing angular and raw javascript when it comes to manipulating the DOM with just mixing them. Nothing wrong with writing something that manipulates strings. But if they were so adamant about it they could have written the module themselves.

Stupid mandatory whitespace that forces you to turn on whitespace visualization in your IDE in order to see if you've spaced the code correcty.

Behind-the-scenes, every variable is a pointer IIRC, which makes lists a fucking pain in the ass;

>>> foo = [1,2,3]
>>> bar = foo
>>> bar.append(1)
>>> print bar, foo
[1, 2, 3, 1] [1, 2, 3, 1]


^^^bullshit

it's just bad.

it filled a niche and did some things but nodejs is simply a better runtime--with tons of useful tools, for scripting on.

Oh boy, do we have a winner here. I didn't care about GIL until I realized what it was doing.
It also is a wontfix afaik

>Devs still too lazy to switch to Python3

The a lot of the packages i use haven't been ported to python 3, so i'm stuck using 2.

>>60302186

That's fantastic though.

>>60300848

Some of the syntax is pure garbage. For example, the lack of switch/case and the ternary operator.

The flaw are fuckwits still using python 2.7

>>60300848
Python makes it super easy to just glue in different modules and get things done.

But god help you if you need to do something that import can't solve.

>>60303538
this is CS101 pass by value and pass by reference shit anon

>>60307763
the ternary operator exists, it's just 5x more verbose than it needs to be

verbose = True
value = "hello" if verbose else "goodbye"
amazing = "really" if not verbose else "long" if False else "barely" if False else "readable" if False else "statement"

>>60307763
The lack of switch/case is because python relies on iteration instead of cases.
Pythonic switch cases would instead have a list of 'cases' and the switch would be an iteration through the cases against your variable.

Which I think is still dumb, but it's better than a long ass list of elifs.

>>60308022

I think Python has a couple of flaws/quirks, but to me your example is not really an issue:

verbose = True

value = "hello" if verbose else "goodbye"

amazing = "really" if not verbose else \
          "long" if False else \
          "barely" if False else \
          "readable" if False else "statement"

>>60301361
Yeah, the python2/3 split is the worst part about python, being based heavily on modularity and importing as it is, it was a dumb idea to make a new python incompatible with the old style.
They should have at least thrown in some kind of legacy interpretation and then said 'it results in worse performance'.
Then people would be jumping over themselves to port it to python3.
