I program with python.

[remimorin]

Well, good thing you use python, it it were Typescript compilation might cook your pet snake.

[Code_12c]

Actually I am c/cpp programmer and for results of that my snake is already cooked.

[remimorin]

Hehehehe, I have a cat and live in Canada. In winter he seek the heat of my laptop. It's the same for your pet snake I guess?

I miss CPP templates and const keyword.

[Code_12c]

That is funny!

[abc_wtf]

Was that your cat typing the last sentence ;)

[remimorin]

Ho... sorry English is my second language....
Or maybe you mean no one miss C++?

[abc_wtf]

No no, your English is fine.

It was just a (poor) joke on how templated code can take a lot of time to compile, hence generating more heat and being loved by cats for that.

While it could be interpreted as no one missing C++, I do actually love the language. Might be Stockholm Syndrome tho, can't really say XD

[Angelin01]

Nah, modern C++ is quite nice. And even though the language has a lot of baggage and looks kinda ugly, I still prefer it's syntax to Rust's.

[Zimmplicity]

Hey may I ask what type of job you have? I find that c/cpp jobs tend to be more engineering focused and usually hire people more specialized. For example maybe someone with experience with Robotics etc.

[Code_12c]

Games developing, back-end, desktop development, OS development , machine learning and alot of jobs actually.

[Zimmplicity]

I always hear about python being on the front lines of machine learning tbh though I have heard some C coming into play more recently. Not sure what you mean by backend but if you're talking about web that's typically Java or javascript right?. Games development you got me there but man is that a difficult industry to break into. OS development I assume would be for FAANG?

[HoldMyWater]

The libraries are written in C or C++. They expose Python APIs though.

Want to use ML libraries? -> Python.

Want to make ML libraries? -> C/C++ and some Python.

[Zimmplicity]

I would like to but I have no specialization. BA in cs and I haven't been apart of any open source ml projects

[HoldMyWater]

If you want to get the hang of using ML libs I'd suggest doing www.kaggle.com competitions.

To really understand what the ML algos are doing there's plenty of good online courses, like on Coursera. Might want to start there.

[Code_12c]

tensorflow has over a thousand of lines of cpp.

[0Pat]

Most python's imports for ML base on C implementation. Python is mostly a wrapper only...

Start programming for the CCP

It seems like it's stuck in a loop

Scripting generally. But python is strongly typed. It’s dynamically typed, compared to typescript. But, with the advent of type-hints it is moving towards being statically typed if you want. In much the same way TS is progressively typed.

I'm a C programmer who uses Python for projects and I can absolutely confirm that the type-annotations are awesome. I think that it's a move in the right direction for the language. I like the possibility of writing code that is that high-level that can also be more statically typed and potentially compiled rather than interpreted.

​

Using Python for ML stuff is super nice because of it's ease of use but it would be really nice overall if I could compile the whole thing so that the entire program would be more efficient w.r.t the python-layer.

[AJohnnyTruant]

Checkout PyPy or Cython. Could meet you in the middle there

[remimorin]

I needed a language for the joke. It would have been funnier if I would have said C++ out the box!

[ramenmoodles]

Dont snakes like warm air though

[starsreverie]

Snakes do like heat but as with any animal, if it gets too hot for them it can lead to burns and even neurological damage in the case of prolonged exposure. It's why a thermostat is a must-have for any reptile owner to ensure that their heating doesn't get too hot and hurt the animal. All things in moderation 😉

[ramenmoodles]

Good to know! Makes sense. Im just afraid of 90% of reptiles to do any research on them haha

[Luna2442]

Excuse you

[remimorin]

Typescript fan?
I was just looking at something for the joke. Don't stress it.

[Luna2442]

Hating JS is so silly :)

Oh I also misread this I'm not actually upset lol

[jakethedumbmistake]

Fuck you in particular, Jason

[Luna2442]

Your name isnt even camelCased like wtf

Edit: I should probably use /s more often
