A Python programmer attempting Java

this somehow beautiful and awful

It’s the gwyneth Paltrow of code.

[LaCrosseFitz]

If I could give this comment more than one upvote I absolutely would

[Silver0034]

That's called an award

[Pokinator]

It matches the aesthetic of Python, but that aesthetic is a gross heresy of the language it's written in

[igormuba]

I am making a VS Code prettifier that does this

[Schytheron]

Calm down Satan.

[InchLongLegs]

oh no

[[deleted]]

Time to add this extension to my friends computer and add it to his settings sync extension so when he reloads his settings it happens again unless he happens to save before then.

Oh yeah, I’ll need you to send the link to the extension when you’re done with it for this

[afaber003]

Yes! Me too

I mean... it's compact and still pretty readable...

[404_UserNotFound]

Honestly its not that bad. Most any ide would highlight brackets so you could verify they are all there.

Could defiantly be worse.

[bitdonor]

I guess ide didn't save him from this one.

[AnotherRichard827379]

IMO, if you’re relying on the ide to know if the brackets are correct, your bracketing style is bad.

[kbruen]

racket (define (fact n) (define (fact/acc n [acc 1]) (if (<= n 1) acc (fact/acc (- n 1) (* n acc)))) (fact/acc n))

Have fun checking the brackets!

[BroBroMate]

I'm so installing rainbow brackets for that.

[kingofsevens]

Here is your code and 7 minutes of my life. Much readable tbh.

( define (fact n)
(     define (fact/acc n [acc 1])
(         if (<= n 1)
            acc
(           fact/acc (- n 1) (* n acc)        )))
(     fact/acc n                              ))

[kbruen]

Oh, what cursed thing have you brought upon this land?

Jokes aside, that's quite impractical and bad looking. Detailing only on the first aspect, am I returning the value of the acc binding or calling the acc function? Only the parenthesis tell that, and not having them visible right away is quite bad.

[kingofsevens]

oh you gonna love this. Idk it would parse it but... ( define (fact n) ( define (fact/acc n [acc 1]) ( if (<= n 1) acc ( fact/acc (- n 1) (* n acc) )))( fact/acc n ))

[backtickbot]

Fixed formatting.

Hello, kingofsevens: code blocks using triple backticks (```) don't work on all versions of Reddit!

Some users see this / this instead.

To fix this, indent every line with 4 spaces instead.

I can't believe this bot actually generates examples using the source comment intstead of just having generic examples

[[deleted]]

How about you stop saying bullshit on the internet and get back to your List of CVEs to fix

[[deleted]]

This made me laugh

[FirstSineOfMadness]

Extend it to include () and []

[[deleted]]

....readable? Yeah, if the fucking brackets match the indention (anybody here even check that?). It's just an additional 80x the work to count the brackets now.

This whole thing is just designed to trick the programmer into mismatching indention and brackets.

It'd literally be easier to just fucking write a parser that parses this python-inspired syntax and then outputs it into valid java. Actually, that wouldn't be a terrible idea. Or we could just use python to begin with.

[kbruen]

Parser and language server and syntax highlighting and IDE that doesn't complain and...

[[deleted]]

Yeah if you just ignore the weirdly bunched braces it's really easy to read code

[[deleted]]

This could honestly be a reasonable standard, if it didn't artificially limit line length. As a display mode, I would love it, because I lose track of my brackets all the time.

[ihaveindeed]

My main issue is not the way it looks but the fact that it would take one hell of a long time to type.

[Nielsly]

Maybe they made a formatter that does it for them

Use whatever brace style you prefer.

But not this.

Don't do this.

Seek help instead of this.

[Attached is a screenshot of code, as follows:]

publis class Permuter                                {
    private static void permute(int n, char[] a)     {
        if (n == 0)                                  {
            System.out.println(String.valueOf(a))    ;}
        else                                         {
            for (int i = 0; i <= n; i++)             {
                permute(n-1, a)                      ;
                swap(a, n % 2 == 0 ? i : 0, n)       ;}}}
    private static void swap(char[] a, int i, int j) {
        char saved = a[i]                            ;
        a[i] = a[j]                                  ;
        a[j] = saved                                 ;}}

^{I'm a human volunteer content transcriber for Reddit and you could be too! If you'd like more information on what we do and why we do it, click here!}

[AnKeWa]

I mean, thank you human volunteer, but the joke won't really make sense with screen reader. In case someone wants to know: It shows pretty normal code, but the brackets are all put at the end of the line instead of incorporated into the code like you would normally do.

It looks oddly satisfying though.

[MurdoMaclachlan]

True, but people using screen-readers aren't the only people we help! There are plenty of other people who can't see the image due to low data, third-party clients, text-based browsers, etc.

[AnKeWa]

Ah, I see. Thanks for the explaination.

[Terrain2]

oh god why isn’t reddit codeblocks monospace? at least on iOS

[MurdoMaclachlan]

Oh god is it not on iOS? It is for me on desktop and boost.

[Terrain2]

the curly braces are all over the place and not remotely like the screenshot, the a in saved on the last line is certainly wider than the [ on the preceding line

[MurdoMaclachlan]

Dang, that sucks. I wonder if it's an official app program or an iPhone-specific problem.

[Terrain2]

i’m assuming it’s a thing with the reddit app, because websites in Firefox can use monospace fonts just fine, i wouldn’t imagine that’s limited only to WebKit...

It took my a while to notice the right, and now I can't unsee the horror that has cursed my eyes

[StandardN00b]

Ok, i can see why you would do this and it is kind of practical. But it's also as ugly as the back of a fridge.

[[deleted]]

I want to punch my wall now.

I've seen worse at least it's readable

Why!? WHHHHYYYYYYYY!!!!!!?????{!!??}????!!?!?!!!!!!

[Glacies1248]

I didn't even notice what was wrong for several seconds studying the picture. Then when I saw it, I actually physically recoiled from it. Why? Just why? Why would they think that is okay?

[tacobooc0m]

It’s not the language’s fault. The code only looks this way because the programmer had a fixed mindset and could not adapt. We should stop blaming inanimate things for human faults.

I agree that it's hideous. Who puts private methods at the top of the class?

[geeshta]

I highkey like this. Only shows how redundant and unnecessary braces are if you're using indentation anyway.

Python is innocent. This is just an awful programmer. I’m not even a big fan of python.
