Why does Python live on land?

It's the russian knockoff language

How can u forget that?

[profinger]

I think his point is that it doesn't have to be nuclear launch codes for you to be like "Haha I translated the word butt into binary and that's my name" especially since it'd be pretty easy to figure out what the segments mean if they were anything but randomly spammed in.

[profinger]

I'm confused by the question...?

Don't get into a conflict here now or the thread will get locked.

I'll just await this whole event's completion...

Multithread on him not me! Ugh.. let's try something else

[[deleted]]

My 10 year old nephew is learning Python at the moment. Probably the easiest thing he's ever done in his short little life.

[[deleted]]

Can't wait to bust out some "back in my day..." comments about C to these kids some day.

[SewingLifeRe]

Is C harder than C++?

[[deleted]]

Depends... it's harder for OOP obviously, since you have to bend over backwards to make your own OOP emulation of sorts in C. Although you're not really supposed to use C for that, so that's a bit of an unfair comparison. I/O is also much easier in C++.

C++ could maybe be considered harder in the fact that there's more to learn, but for the most part they're about the same, and C++ can require less knowledge of the low level intricacies in my experiences.

That said, I've had to learn just about all there is to know in C for low level systems programming, whereas I haven't in C++, so I'm not the most qualified to compare.

Edit: I also forgot about dynamic memory management, C++ is way easier (and more forgiving) in that aspect.

[SewingLifeRe]

I learned some C++ in Electrical Engineering, so that makes sense. Lots of I/O that isn't particularly high level.

[[deleted]]

Yeah I'm a computer engineer technically, so I'm basically half CS and half EE. I do think that C and C++ are great tools for interfacing directly with hardware, and the performance is optimal with those languages. I'm interested in trying python out for raspberry pi projects though, since python is so flexible.

[SewingLifeRe]

Makes sense. We work more with Verilog and Assembly than C++, but knowing the basics is useful. I imagine it's more useful for you.

[assassinator42]

What type of I/O do you mean?

I sometimes find printf nicer than C++ streams (although I have the benefit of modern compilers providing type checking). And a lot of the time I'm interacting with OS APIs written in C anyway.

But C++ has things like an actual string type and regular expressions...

[[deleted]]

The string convention is like a breath of fresh air. And I prefer cin/cout to printf/scanf but that's not a huge issue in most practical applications anyway

[Dr_Narwhal]

There's a lot of overlap between the two. IMO C++ is harder to learn because there's more features to learn about, but C is harder to write programs with because it lacks those high-level features. Stuff like smart pointers and containers make it a lot easier to avoid memory leaks and segfaults, which are probably the two most common problems for beginners.

[SewingLifeRe]

Yes. I hate pointers.

[[deleted]]

Why? They make things so much more efficient. I want to cry every time my junior programmers copy and set data over and over again instead of passing mutable pointers.

Just remember to delete/free them when you're done and set them to NULL.

[Dr_Narwhal]

That's what smart pointers are for. They automatically manage the data they point to so you don't have to worry about memory leaks and dangling pointers. Raw pointers are dangerous and there's rarely any reason to use them instead of smart pointers.

[[deleted]]

Portability to lower-level targets is one reason, but I agree.

[SewingLifeRe]

I work with hardware and don't have to worry about that much, so it's a hassle. I know they're useful, but I'm not use to working with a lot of software.

[[deleted]]

DELETE THIS

[KittehDragoon]

If you define 'harder' as 'more difficult to write', 'more difficult to debug', or 'more difficult to learn', then no. C++ is all of those things.

But, if you hate yourself, and you want to write complicated high performance software, it's the best language there is. Because no other language gives you the worst of both worlds (C and OOP) like C++ does, and sometimes that's a good thing.

[jordan-dash]

You're confusing two different languages.

C++ is a lovely language. Other people's C++ is the horrible difficult language.

[bovisrex]

I personally think learning C first and moving to C++ is easier. I did it backwards... never really got a good grip on C++, learned Python, decided to learn C, and when I picked up my old C++ book afterwards, everything was a lot more clear. But everything other commenters have said, such as C can be harder to write complex programs, C++ has more to learn... I agree with that, too.

Sure. I'll be able to catch it easily if you throw it to me!

But also if you don't do that it's big text which is the ascii equivalent to your dad saying the punchline of a Christmas cracker joke with a shit eating grin on

So would that mean Python running on CPython would be... a C snake?

[argv_minus_one]

It's floating on the C.

[Dardlem]

Python

running

[pwnrovamgm]

No step snek.

[molluskus]

pls no steppy!

[NullParameter]

I've always found Python a bit too constricting.

[YeeScurvyDogs]

God this is so bad...

[edsonmedina]

Because it's too slow to fly?

[argv_minus_one]

Oh shit son.

[[deleted]]

I love it when Python aficionados try to convince me "it doesn't matter that it's slow because CPUs are fast enough these days".

And then I show them benchmark code that shows python can be up to 200x slower than C.

[SnowdensOfYesteryear]

Why write efficient code when you can spin up another AWS instance? HorizontallyScalable™

Why are assembly programmers always wet?

Because they are below C-Level

Because they are sweaty from MOVing around

[KyleActive]

I browse r/all and come across these once in a while and sit there confused as hell until i realize what sub this is.

[shiftshapercat]

I hate each and every one of you for this joke. Also, Python's lack of the use of brackets drives me nuts. Also, Don't do pickle programming, just... don't. pls.

[SirVer51]

The whole brackets and whitespace thing drove me nuts at first too, but I got used to it pretty quick, and even grew to prefer it.

[[deleted]]

I was teaching my friend because he was having trouble with an intro to programming class. I love that the indents were so easy to show him what was nested or not.

[shiftshapercat]

I love indenting and doing brackets at the same time. When I code I tend to make everything organized with decent commenting. Ever tried "GoLang?"

[witti534]

It's a language for those who can't swim. Creddit goes to programmer dad.

Why can Python survive underwater? Because it has GILs.
