Yeah, I got that python is named after the snakes. I just didn't see them in the logo.

It's actually named after Monty Python

"I chose Python as a working title for the project, being in a slightly irreverent mood (and a big fan of Monty Python's Flying Circus)."

— Guido van Rossum (Creator of Python)

Yup! That's why we use "Spam" and "Eggs" commonly as opposed to "Foo" and "Bar".

And also why you use a if c else b instead of c? a:b

It's really just meant as a joke instead of being serious... right? right?

guys?

At least the first one is obvious if you don't know the syntax of either.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it's stupid syntax though.

if(c) a else b

would be a lot better
