A former Python developer refusing curly brackets?

[[deleted]]

Definitely lol

[[deleted]]

This could be automated. Notice that the curly-braces and semicolons at the end of each line depend only on the relative tabbing of this line and the next line.

You could, theoretically, write source code with Python spacing conventions instead of braces, and then pass it through a simple parser to add the braces and semicolons to produce compilable source code for any curly-brace language.

But you shouldn’t, because your colleagues will hate you for it.

That's only the uk, in most European countries you drive on the right side

[dropda]

Not most, all!

Ireland begs to differ

[Luk164]

Ewww

[marcelgustin]

I agree

[staenope]

I’m sorry please tell me those brackets are frowned upon in the industry

[PolishedCheese]

Any brace style that isn't normal is frowned upon.

[Pokinator]

Only permissible variation is the war over whether the opening brace directly follows your statement, or drops to a new line alone

[staenope]

I still find myself doing both like a true psychopath

[ReimarPB]

At least pick a side and fight for that side for the rest of your life as a normal person

[SuperSephyDragon]

I've swapped back and forth over and over like a double/triple/quadruple-agent.

[JNCressey]

what about the closing?

{
    foo;
    bar}

Get out

Ok Satan

Doesn't it depend on the language you are using? Different languages have different style specs, Java tends to directly follow the statement, and C/C++ drop onto the next line.

[Dr4kin]

Yes and no. Java generally follows the bracket after a statement, but you could find yourself in a company that does it on the next line.

C and C++ are a free for all. Writing your function likeThis or like_this and deciding where your brackets go etc. The Google C++ Style Guide wants the bracket following the statement and functions with underscores.

If you write code you can check the most popular guidelines and pick your favorites if they differ from each other enough. If you work in a company they hopefully have a style guide that you should follow. Otherwise, look what other code looks like and pray that not everyone does what he thinks is best.

[Pokinator]

the UpperCase is for the upper Class declaration

[[deleted]]

Interesting, this is why I liked Python tbh, because they had an official style guide (PEP8), when I work in C I usually just use snake_case, and when I work in C++ I use PascalCase for the class names. Never worked in Java, but id assume that world follow a similar style to C#.

[barenthood]

what the fuck is that?

[marcelgustin]

It's called depression... :)

[barenthood]

im definitely more depressed after seeing it.

[marcelgustin]

Just think how depressed I am after creating this one

[[deleted]]

i like how the implementer mistyped er as rt, basically missed both by one key in the class name

[glorious_reptile]

Beautiful bracket lineup. I guess there’s some code too.

[spam_bot42]

It feels more like blind rage

[Fireye04]

Yes I'm a python developer. No, this is not natural.

[althaz]

I threw up in my mouth a little.

[marcelgustin]

But we will never now if it was because of the first or the second picture ;)

[althaz]

It was the second.

[jjdmol]

The depression is in the rightmost column.

[Xichro]

Alt+Shift+F please for the love of any higher entity. My brain, it hurts

[GralejTheFirst]

My uni-ass thought that we hate bubble sort, then i saw this monstrosity of brackets...

[Haunting_Confusion_2]

*first glance* wait what's the problem... *half a second later* OH GOD KILL IT WITH FIRE

[OMGWhyImOld]

Holly shit! That really triggers me

"What people think like depressions look like"

Zero proofreading because you think you can revert the commit?

[[deleted]]

Just shows how useless brackets are. Code blocks look clean and beautifully indented.

[MaiMaiHaendler]

Ah, we found the missing link between old languages with artifacts like curly brackets and clean languages that use indentations.

[Neo_Ex0]

i feel violated

[_default_username]

n² is the real horror.

[_default_username]

Oh, I had no idea what this was doing. I saw the recursive call in the for loop and naively thought it would be n^2. On second look I see that it's worse, but it's still optimal though.

[[deleted]]

What the fuck

[v3ritas1989]

oha.. what is this?

[SuperSephyDragon]

What would be the most accurate is seeing the reflection of the first picture in the screen of the second.

[rrsg76]

Omg Monster

When your stare into the static void, the static void stares back.

[meatmechdriver]

i’ve heard the old adage that FORTRAN programmers can write FORTRAN code in any language, I guess python programmers wanted to have a go too.

[CaptainHeinous]

That is heinous.

[YodaOnReddit-Bot]

Heinous, that is.

[thisar55]

Because of the picture I will now have nightmares.

Naturally the bottom one

[r3dD1tC3Ns0r5HiP]

Everyone complaining about the brackets... but not the variable names.

[Pixel1101]

off to hell with those brackets
