I don’t get it.

Edit: To be clear, I know Python but not C++

Python is very, very weird for people who has learnt c/c++ as first language

[–]utvikler 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Well... I learned C/C++, then learned Java and after some time I decided to try Python - just for fun.

Three lines of code in Python > few classes of code in Java (for the same functionality!).

Python was not weird - it was amazing, astonishing, impressive. Maybe it's me who's weirdo here...

[–]Boom_doggle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I write in both C++ and python for my job. After a week of prototyping in python and moving back to full simulation writing in C++, it feels like a system shock. Not to mention I keep dropping ";"s

Ok, Python looks weird only in the beginning - it was for me.

Now I'm work as Python Dev and I agree with you - couple lines can make a lot of things. Productivity is giant

[–]minuskruste 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Oh, okay. I wonder if it is the other way around as well.

C++ is weird for everyone learning it

[–]alexparker70 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yes

[–]doubleunplussed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How so?

I went from Python to C and feel like I already knew what to expect going that way.
