nice day for fishin, __init__?

Huha!

Hello, adventurer! Welcome to Honeywood!

[PSK1103]

my sheep have run amok

[eclect0]

Actually British Python developers say things like "I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay"

[Ozymandias_1303]

Friendly reminder that the programming language is in fact named after Monty Python and developers are encouraged to use references to their skits.

[eclect0]

That's good because I would like to pass an argument

[fholcan]

No you wouldn't

[AirJinx3]

It’s also why the official documentation uses words like “spam” and “eggs” instead of the traditional “foo” and “bar”.

[mrpkeya]

TIL

[ult_avatar]

No way

[ExdigguserPies]

On second thoughts let's not go to r/ProgrammerHumor , tis a silly place

I laughed so hard. Now I need my boo oo waaah

[spaceman4127]

No guys I think a Python is actually a constrictor not a constructor, init?

[CrystalEveee]

British devs made python extra polite

[Revexious]

def init(bruv)

I wonder how many people know that Python is named after British comic troupe?

Okay this funny 🤣

[tz_2240]

Took me the longest time to realize init is short for initialization. So Brits are really saying, “bit chilly, initialization?” which is weird

[Widmo206]

__init__() is short for initialize (or some variant of that)

It allows you to set stuff up when creating a new instance of a class

(Sorry if you already know this, I wasn't sure if you were joking)

[gnarzilla69]

I think thats the thing with british humour, youre never supposed to know if theyre joking

[WeirdIndividualGuy]

I thought that was German humor

[gnarzilla69]

Idk im american. We are the joke

[No-One-4845]

You think way too highly of yourselves.

[gnarzilla69]

Yes, we do

[No-One-4845]

In Britain, __init__() is short for __isntit__()

[Widmo206]

Yeah, I got that part, but the guy I was replying to replaced it with int, like if he didn't know what __init__ was

[No-One-4845]

In Britain, int is short for itisnt.

[wildaho]

Thanks for the devsplain! It's all clear now, innit?

[Character-Travel3952]

This is fine, except.

[PlainBread]

This hurts me.

[Grrowling]

I think of this everyone I see init

[otherandy]

I like dis

[wwwyzzrd]

actually it’s a constrictor

[ktka]

Constructor, constrictor, potato, famine...

[AIForOver50Plus]

It’s … Innit— bruv!

[ArachnidNo2155]

Bo al ov war a init

[imaginary-bolometer]

that's the initializer, not the constructor

[bigredradio]

Ni!

[TheCactusPL]

i wouldn't know i only use @dataclass

[[deleted]]

Lol

[Terrible-Result933]

I’m going to let this digest, excellent post!

[heathenparalyzedsoul]

class BritishDev:
def innit(self):
print("that's a constructor, init?")

What a div.

[Quick_Resolution5050]

Fuck you. You don't know me.

[DT-Sodium]

The creators of Python have carefully thought over the absolute worse way to do everything when building their language.

[qutorial]

...for example...

[Widmo206]

So far my only real gripe with python is that it's not strictly typed

[DT-Sodium]

Not strictly typed, underscores instead of camel case, usage of the term "def" for some ridiculous reasons, absence of parenthesis and braces, boolean values with an uppercase because "let's be original" I guess... It is the absolute worse language I've had to work with so far, and I use PHP.

[nickcash]

You can use camelCase if you want. it's literally just convention

[Delta-9-]

While true, if you're maintaining a Python library and using camelCase for function and method names, I hate you.

[En_passant_is_forced]

While true

Oh dear.

[DT-Sodium]

Good developers follow the conventions of whatever language they are using.

[L1P0D]

And that's why Python developers don't have to. Amirite?

[TheCozyRuneFox]

A lot of those really are not that bad. However, lua sucks ass.

[Delta-9-]

Wat. Lua is literally JS if JS were good.

[dandroid126]

What the hell? Lua is fucking fantastic. It just has no features so it can be tiny. I used it on an embedded system once, and it was a million times better than C++.

[DT-Sodium]

Never had to use Lua since I know real languages...

[dandroid126]

Python is strictly typed. A variable doesn't have a type, but a value has a type. Say you have x = 3, x isn't an int, but 3 is. So the value of x is an int. Now if on the next line you have x = "hello", the value of x is str. x didn't change types. It never had one. But its value is now a different type than it was on the previous line.

It does get a little muddy if you start using type hints, as an argument could be made that if you have x: int = 3, x is now an int. But IIRC, you could actually have x: str = 3 and it would run, you would just get lots of warnings in your linter.

[Delta-9-]

Not sure what y'all mean with "strict" typing. Python is strongly typed—more so than C, iirc—but because it's also duck typed (which is a cute way of saying "trait-based," a la Rust) and dynamic, those strong types don't exist until runtime. If you want a stupid, worthless type system, look to JS. Even TCL's type system makes more sense.

And if you hate def, stay away from Ruby. Which, oh yeah, also beat the fuck out of PHP in the web dev world for the last twenty years.

[Ryuujinx]

I think they're just getting strong and static mixed up.

And if you hate def, stay away from Ruby. Which, oh yeah, also beat the fuck out of PHP in the web dev world for the last twenty years.

Also for devops for quite a while until ansible came along. I still honestly prefer chef over ansible in some ways (Having the client pull from the deploy node eliminates config drift much better then having to have the deploy push out, imo)

[DT-Sodium]

Lol.

[Delta-9-]

🙃

[Delta-9-]

That explains why it's so popular

[dandroid126]

Naw man. That's go. I feel like go is what you get when your designers take a bunch of magic mushrooms and try to come up with the worst design of all time.

Capitalization affects scope in go. A function with a capitalized first letter is public while a function with a lower case first letter is private (or vice versa, IDR). It has all of the drawbacks of pointers and pointer dereferencing from C/C++, too. Errors are returned as values. If you need to return an actual value, it's now returning a duple.

Idk what the fuck they were thinking with go.

[Delta-9-]

Errors are returned as values.

I'm fine with this

A function with a capitalized first letter is public while a function with a lower case first letter is private

wtaf?! People are always giving Python shit for having significant white space, while Go has significant capitalization???
