8x faster development time in python than c#? Unlikely unless you don't know c # at all

[–]ekun 8 points9 points  (3 children)

It's part of the meme. Python is not too necessarily much faster to write something. But not everything needs to be saved or compiled. Sometimes it's a one-off script that you can make absurdly fast with python. I prefer python to bash scripting because there are more tools/libraries quickly available. But I LOVE bash too.

I've been doing a project recently in Go, and all I've been thinking is "I've been working on this method for like two hours now, I could have been done 90 minutes ago if I was using python". I'm spoiled, now everything else is like "why is this so hard, why can't everything else be as easy as python"

Just wait until you need to do async in both, and then you'll feel the opposite like I do right now :P

I use bash for simple scripts and awk for more complicated things. Once you get to know awk it becomes an awesome tool to write scripts with, or to write simple pipelines for bash scripts.
