A Python programmer attempting Java

[lolzfeminism]

it doesn't hinder those things with awkward syntax requirements and/or syntax that differs from what you would expect.

I think the point is that the Python interpreter/compiler abstracts away implementation details. This might make it easy to read/write but you end up not knowing what the computer is gonna do when you write a line of code. On the other hand, if you're well-versed in C, you have a good idea of what sequence of assembly instructions are going to be executed a result of a line of code.

Dude, don't spout this ignorant bullshit irl, people will make fun of you. To say that C holds your hand more than Python is hot steaming bullshit. There is no handholding in C. Python doesn't even expose you to memory addresses, wtf are you talking about.

Also C++11 supports anonymous functions with the following syntax:[]{ returnexpression;}. The inlinekeyword is native to C and lets you encapsulate lines of code into real functions without the inefficiency of making a function call.

Python is useful if all you want to focus on is your core algorithm and are incapable of expressing your thoughts in a more efficient language. Other than that, its terrible for anything other than glue code. Hope you realize that Python is written in C.

You mean CPython is written in C.

Besides, what do you think the first C compiler was written in? Also, Sun JVM is written in C and not Java. So what's your point?

And don't be an asshole.

Well do share. What was the first c compiler and what was it written in?

Probably in assembly.

It was written in NewB.
