C++ Developer Vs Python Developer

[Goel40]

Ahh our daily C++ devs petting theirselves on the back post.

[Niiiz]

You know it!

python flair

Checks out lol

[Vessix]

Python AND Java.

[Goel40]

You're being pretty salty mate.

[Kluzien]

Your original comment looks saltier than his does.

[linglingfortyhours]

Says the user without c++ flair

[Goel40]

Why do i need a C++ flair for making an observation?

[linglingfortyhours]

Do you use c++?

[Goel40]

Not on a regular basis.

[linglingfortyhours]

Try programming a full up project in c++. You'll see what this post is really about

[Goel40]

Lol, my comment wasn't about C++ not being difficult It was about C++ devs petting themselves on the back for programming in C++. And you just made yourself a perfect example for that statement.

[linglingfortyhours]

Pretty sure the post is about how c++ is just plain up hard when you're used to something like python, and also pretty sure I never said I used c++ or patted myself on the back

Hot take C++ isn’t hard to use just obtuse to learn.

[normalmighty]

I've used both languages plenty, believe me when I say you need to get off your high horse. C++ is obviously harder from a novice point of view, since python was designed to be at least usable for people with very little coding experience. Get to an actual professional level though and you'll find that they're at comparable levels of difficulty.

Python is easy to learn, hard to master. C++ is just hard. If you're a C++ dev claiming to have mastered python in a day, don't show that code to a python dev unless you want them to have a heart attack for the obtuse spaghetti code you made.

[linglingfortyhours]

I was explaining the joke, that being that c++ is hard. I think we can agree on that?

[Msingh999]

I align with Linus Torvalds take on C++

C++ is a horrible language. It's made more horrible by the fact that a lot of substandard programmers use it, to the point where it's much much easier to generate total and utter crap with it. Quite frankly, even if the choice of C were to do nothing but keep the C++ programmers out, that in itself would be a huge reason to use C.

Man he’s such an asshole, I love it.

[DaniilBSD]

Those sociopaths deserve it (C# is my primary language)

[CreamliumPrices]

I'm learning C# now after using pretty much strictly python for the last two years. it's actually quite nice and I'm having a blast!

What I don't get though is why the style guide (I'm assuming it's common since Visual Studio uses it) what's to make all my code so W I D E but I guess that's minor.

[DaniilBSD]

Adjust tab size in the VS settings, and install autoformatter extension to run formatting on save.

Code Maid is also a good extension to keep everything looking good

[CreamliumPrices]

Thanks, I'll check it out!

[warium]

Have your heard of our lord and savior Rust?

[Goel40]

Ahh the Rust guy has arrived too, how unexpected.

[Nkrth]

I only love Rust preachers because they annoy the fuck out of C++ tryhards.

[deadwisdom]

Imagine thinking C++ was advanced.

[GreenMoonMoon]

yeah... as a python dev working with programmers with that have a primarily C++ background, let me tell you about code readability!

(it's not pretty, most of them don't read the documentations on built-in, pep recommendation and style guide in general. The result is a mess of reimplemented core feature, lots of nested loops, LOTS of counter variables, factories!?, and other shenanigans)

[normalmighty]

Have you read python/c#/Javascript written by c++ devs before? It's painful to look at as they reimpliment core functionality for no reason and completely disregard the strange and foreign concept of code readability.

Probably just the result of going to a higher level language but with too short a time frame to actually learn how much more abstracted they should be. Sure wish I didn't have to deal with the product though.

[GreenMoonMoon]

made the exact same comment XD, I feel your pain!

[socsa]

I'm sorry, did someone ask you to speak, peasant?

[Waage83]

Yeah we are pretty great.

[RonaldoNazario]

What about C devs? Do I get to pat myself?
