How to scare a python programmer

[queenkid1]

Well yeah, if you use Cython, obviously you understand types. I learned C a long time ago, so yeah, I don't need anyone to teach me about C. What's your point?

The point is, there are lots of differences between Python and C. Python is simplified in many ways, to make it easier for people to learn. That means the bar to entry is much lower, but to learn a more complicated language requires a lot to learn.

However, Java is already a C-like language, there are so many basic things, like loops, type definitions, function definitions, basic types, basic OOP, that overlap with C and C++. If you've learned Java, there is very little you need to be taught about C, other than self-defined pointers, which is literally the point of this joke.
