As much I think it is used way too much for other reasons than scripting, Python is the just werkz language.
You can paste pseudo-code ans expect it to work. (Hi scientists friends :) )

Python 2 or python 3?:^)

>>62355098
Haskell, Idris, Elm...
If it compiles, pretty sure it just works.

JavaScript on the other hand "just throws runtime errors™"

>>62355552
Depends on which distro I'm using and which one is the default !

Are you shitting this hard on perl too ? :'(

if __name__ == '__main__':
runTheFuckingMainFunction()

such elegance

Yeah. "Just works".

Fuck dude. That's job security round here. I'm just tipping my toes into this sht because of some shitty back end configs between platforms. Goddamn I hate that shit.

It's actually a great language, but it's likely you're going to stumble upon references to old editions of it that are full of footguns.

> I built my career with JavaScript and now I’m so invested in the language that I contribute to spec proposals and write low level tooling for it.I’m predicting that JavaScript will die soon. WASM will make JavaScript obsolete. We’re a few years from widespread WASM adoption and once WASM can work with DOM we’ll see people migrating to strongly typed and more feature rich languages. JavaScript served us very well but it has a few very fundamental limitations that is very hard to go around without making it a completely different language and since JavaScript doesn’t evolve faster that WASM we’ll see JavaScript lose the battle to those languages that compile to WASM. I’m happy about all of this!


PLEASE GOD.
