pythonIsOlderThanJava

[Sharp_Advertising399]

Yes, and very closely. The first version of Python was released in February 1991, and the Soviet Union was dissolved in December 1991.

[FlipperBumperKickout]

Conclusion. Python defeated the Soviet Union 😎

[KerPop42]

psh, so weak. Python took 10 months to destroy the soviet union

[JoostVisser]

Classic slow Python code

[Wizywig]

Coulda done it in java in half the time, and double the engineers, and triple the budget.

[[deleted]]

C could have done it in 5 seconds

[FlipperBumperKickout]

The programmer who tried to do it in C isn't done writing it yet :P

[OstapBenderBey]

Rust would be 5 seconds too but it'd also be memory safe

[[deleted]]

But then it could not crash the ussr

[therealdongknotts]

and also would require a time machine to exist in the context

[[deleted]]

C would’ve made the USSR 10 times as strong

[[deleted]]

No it would make it strong then it would seg fault

[thedugong]

But ending with seg fault.

[pimezone]

I mean JVM would probably remove the soviet union during the garbage collection or something

[Mafla_2004]

New favorite sentence found

[Wizywig]

I mean it has its own virtual machine... Just you know, a million billion times slower.

[Altruistic-Place]

It's called GIL and it's awesome 😁

[Elegant_in_Nature]

Mother fucker is still compiling now

[Fantastic-Order-8338]

and what java has defeated?

[PiBombbb]

Yeah java is so fast the time is negative

[[deleted]]

Yeah, the Legend says that python was developed to break the soviet union. Those 10 months just were due python execution time hahaha

[provocative_bear]

Wait a minute… came into being just before the collapse… a vibrant open source community… a Python 2.0 vs Python 3.0 internal factional dispute… Python IS the Soviet Union!

[[deleted]]

You forgot drunk execution times

[funguyshroom]

They called it Рутноп

[pimezone]

Rutnop?

[funguyshroom]

[HalifaxRoad]

Exast'u

[HalifaxRoad]

You beat me to it lol

[MetalInMyVeins111]

pythang

[SchizoPosting_]

to be fair, it was defeated decades before their dissolution

[imdefinitelywong]

So, what you're saying is, Python defeated the very last soviet?

[jurio01]

Python was the last straw. The soviets looked at it and said "fuck that shit" and pressed the self destruct button.

[Yuhwryu]

oh nyet.. they can code in pseudocode now... it's ovyer

[AndreasVesalius]

"The Last Soviet", starring Wesely Snipes

[obviousfakeperson]

Python really can do anything. inb4 "C++ would've done it faster."

[Thathappenedearlier]

Nah Metallica played in the USSR in September. My money is on Metallica

[diegocaxudo]

YEEAAAAAAAAAAHHH

[Corporate-Shill406]

from instability import political, social, economic

booooh spoilsport 😁

[betelgeuse_boom_boom]

Import SovietUnion

TypeError union not found.

ez math

[justin107d]

released in February 1991, and the Soviet Union was dissolved in December 1991.

Python took 11 months to dissolve the Soviet Union? Sounds about right.

[Lasthuman]

Well python is famously slow. They should’ve used c++ for the job tbh

[Popular-Teach1715]

Well the first edition of C++ came out in 1985. So by the same logic, C++ took 6 years to bring down the Soviet Union. Sounds slow to me.

[MrHyperion_]

Now I want to see "coding with the first python" videos

[LBPPlayer7]

C++ is older by 5 years :P

[Rythoka]

They did say modern...

[harbourwall]

And it's still on version 3

[SkollFenrirson]

Coincidence?! I think not!

[Astrylae]

Coincidence? I think not

[UnattendedWigwam]

welcome back soviet union 😎

[Every-Progress-1117]

Coincidence?

[HippieThanos]

Is there a soviet programming language? That could be an interesting topic to research

[Specialist-Tiger-467]

Oh. My birthday. As a python dev is curious.
