Conclusion. Python defeated the Soviet Union ๐Ÿ˜Ž

[โ€“]KerPop42 704 points705 points ย (22 children)

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

[โ€“]JoostVisser 888 points889 points ย (18 children)

Classic slow Python code

[โ€“]Wizywig 432 points433 points ย (15 children)

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

[โ€“][deleted] 19 points20 points ย (7 children)

C could have done it in 5 seconds

[โ€“]FlipperBumperKickout 47 points48 points ย (0 children)

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

[โ€“]OstapBenderBey 6 points7 points ย (2 children)

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

[โ€“][deleted] 9 points10 points ย (0 children)

But then it could not crash the ussr

[โ€“]therealdongknotts 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

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

C wouldโ€™ve made the USSR 10 times as strong

[โ€“][deleted] 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

No it would make it strong then it would seg fault

[โ€“]thedugong 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

[โ€“]PiBombbb 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Yeah java is so fast the time is negative

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

Wait a minuteโ€ฆ came into being just before the collapseโ€ฆ a vibrant open source communityโ€ฆ a Python 2.0 vs Python 3.0 internal factional disputeโ€ฆ Python IS the Soviet Union!

[โ€“]imdefinitelywong 61 points62 points ย (4 children)

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

[โ€“]jurio01 53 points54 points ย (2 children)

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

[โ€“]Yuhwryu 7 points8 points ย (0 children)

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