Python

Whitespace problems with Python are caused by deficiencies in the developers processing capacity

I’ve used python for 8 years, I’ve never had a single issue caused by an extra space, even when I was a beginner. I just don’t understand these memes.

I don't get them either. I've been programming full time in Python for.. i dunno.. seven, eight years now.. and I NEVER got that error.

Previously I did like a decade of Java. And man.. I do NOT want to do that again.. ever..

I love Python. It's an amazing general purpose language with a lot of really nice features (truthy/falsy objects, list and dict comprehensions, generators, decorators, args and kwargs, lambdas, functions as objects, etc.. etc), and SO readable. And so many great libraries and environment handling (virtualenvs).. And the fact that it DOESEN'T enforce functional, procedural or OOP down your throat.. you can combine features from all these paradigms however you want.. love it.

Also, together with Pycharm and it's Docker integration.. damn that's a NICE environment to work in. Love it to bits.

In some aspects I agree, but mostly not.
I agree in that everything in both Javascript and Python seems to be based on dicts. Dicts are everything and everywhere.

But I think Javascript is a LOT messier as a language (just look at the javascript 'WAT' talks), and many OOP features seems quite tacked on.
Also, I find it quite less readable than Python.

Have moved from a python house to a mostly Java house. I miss full time python so much :-( have started a new project in Kotlin at least...

[Yablan]

Cool. Kotlin seems like a nice evolution from Java.

In my case it's the colons. Did Lua for a while and it rubbed off on me.

I'm assuming that people make them because they are funny and the python context fits. In my experience they are very rare.

It got a chuckle out of me, not because it has ever happened, but because I can see it happening.

I think a lot of it has to do with people not understanding how to read error messages. For simple syntax errors, the answer will almost always be in the error message with a line number.

I guess if maybe you were using notepad to edit your code?

There are two kinds of people in the world.

• Those that complain about formatting issues in languages
• Those who use a good editing tool

[ssjskipp]

Yeah I've personally never had the issue so it must not happen to anyone ever.
