Nah.

t-these are summer fag threads arent they

>>62133009
you don't need them.

>>62133089
There are a lot of things you don't NEED in a programming language, but I wouldn't call a language without if-statements the best, either.

>Excuse me?
Python is NOT the best programming language.

>>62132879
It's a really good scripting language when you can into reddit spacing

>"I just started my first programming class xD" - The Post

If I was 15 again and just started programming I would probably also agree that python was the best programming language.

>guys who have never ever created something of value to anyone

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

>>62132879
That's not C++.

Unnecessary syntactic sugar.

php and c are better. but you only need to learn js to get a 150k/yr job.

Everything that isn't in brainfuck is "unnecessary syntactic sugar".

>>62134656
True but some unnecessary syntactic sugars are more unnecessary than others.

learn some language that has any use beyond writing prototypes of programs for your math degree thesis

>>62137762
>>weakly-typed
dynamically typed. There is a major difference.

>>62137762
It is strongly typed.

>>62137782
>>62137817
Eh I guess programming doesn't translate that well between real world langauges. Seems it really is.

>>62134637
Really? Is js really that hard? why do people bitch about it so much? Need a degree?

Serious Python question.

I know shit about it, but I'm trying to get a metadata web scraper to parse Data18 to organize my porn in Plex. Fucking Data18 changed their search method, and now it does not work.

The current one available is dead in terms of development. All I have in return to fix this script is el gato. Pls halp.

Python is literally a reddit language. The actual reddit website was written in python.
Go back to >>>/reddit/

You misspelled verilog 1995 edition

>>62141077
So reddit is unironically better than 4chan?

Funny, you spelled JSON wrong.

>>62133009

I missed switch then I learned the python way.

Python is great if you don't need stuff to be as fast as possible, like when miliseconds are of utmost importance. Like if you were to program an altcoin miner in Python it would be shit, but for web development and scripting it is superb.

For these I think C++ is better.

C is good for embedded and lower level stuff like kernels and sheeit.

I am still heavily inclined towards LISPs and Haskell, though. I just haven't delved deep into them enough. I'm still learning the calculus stuff to go through SICP.

>>62140304
Typically are, EXCEPT when using redux. Then it's used in the official docs. Though I don't get why you couldn't just make an object where the keys are the case names and the values are the function references that handle those cases.... But really it all accomplishes the same thing so #yolo

>>62137874
No degree required, and in fact it's not terribly difficult. It's got shit like being weakly typed (type coercion everywhere) and also having a fairly complex prototypal inheritance pattern and having functional scoping with some variable declarations and block scoping with others and differing hoisting rules for functions depending on the manner of declaration, BUT it's got some very cool functional aspects and it's also got many major companies competing to optimize the shit out of it, and because web apps = lots of user data, money is involved. And there's a million frameworks out there so building full stack apps ain't even that hard

>>62142836
Const combineTwoLists = (l1, l2) => [...JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(l1)), ...JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(l2))]
:^)

>>62134342
I started at 11 and thought C is the best. Then lisp. Then asm. Then haskell. Now i know there is no best and retards can make shitty sw in every language. Each language attracts different kind of retards.

>>62133009
switch statements always become functionally equivalent to if/else or dictionaries at compile time no need for them.
