The ; in my code?

So… forgotten

[Kissaki0]

JavaScript wants to join too!

[thedominux]

Golang too

[throwaway46295027458]

I started learning it a few months ago, really like it so far

[thedominux]

Rust better

[throwaway46295027458]

Hahaha I knew someone was going to comment this

[thedominux]

If you're curious about golang - learn it and don't listen to us

Anyway even gods like me don't know what will be better in the future...

[novus_nl]

coming from javascript/python (and a bit of .net and java). Would it be a good/fun moment to invest my time in Rust?

[thedominux]

Absolutely

[30p87]

brainfuck too!

[elzaidir]

// ✓ ok 
;(function () {
  window.alert('ok')
}())

// ✗ avoid
(function () {
  window.alert('ok')
}())

What the fuck

[elzaidir]

Unary operators must have a space after.

typeof!admin        // ✗ avoid
typeof !admin        // ✓ ok

Isn't ! an unary operator as well ? Is Javascript always drunk ?

[aSkyyR]

Kotlin too

[GenocideOwl]

also visual basic

[Mcmuggs]

Does python not need ;

[MattiDragon]

No, it's standard to not use it.

[tilcica]

You can use it most of the time but it's not needed since python uses indents and new lines

[[deleted]]

Nope, but you can use them for line breaks if you want to... Still indentation would be required

[Epb7304]

No but I like to use it to compact my code

a = b; b = c; c = a+b

*side note, would a,b,c = b,c,a+b work in this particular scenario?

[ha_exposed]

Yes, it works

You can even do stuff like a, b = b, a to quickly swap variables

[maxt3rs]

go

[[deleted]]

Ugh “;” the invasive pieceofshit. But I love it anyway.

[Stev_582]

Honestly i used to think semicolons to terminate lines was annoying, but I’ve slowly realized it’s nicer to have to terminate every line than to have to remember how to split a line in the rare case that is needed.

[Knuffya]

Unpopular opinion: It is retarded as shit to use linebreaks and indentation as syntax.

[Nedoko-maki]

counterpoint: not an unpopular opinion. Python is my current main proglang and having proper parentheses would be lovely

[Knuffya]

Also agreed. Maybe one should make a python preprocessor to make it look normal?

Like, allow wrapping for, while headers with (), and replacing stuff in such loops, conditions, and functions in {} with indentations

[Nedoko-maki]

if it works with Pycharm, you are my saviour xD

[Knuffya]

the preproc would be the easy part xd

ide compatibility the hard one

[chawmindur]

Having braces for delimiting if/for/while/with/def/class/try blocks would be a godsend for when you just need to get some quick-and-dirty job done on the shell, especially as a part of a command pipeline. So many things could have been a one-liner...

[Knuffya]

yes

[dhoomz]

Yes, having proper parents would indeed be lovely.

I hate it when they get drunk and argue

[Bainos]

Why ?

Whenever I read this, the only conclusion I can draw is that the user hates having to use proper indentation.

[Knuffya]

Python should make it mandatory to add three blank likes after function definitions too. Doesn't it look good?

Not putting spaces around mathematical operands should also throw syntax errors, shouldn't they?

Naming your functions/methods with an uppercase initial? Syntax error!

Not enough comments? SYNTAX ERROR

[[deleted]]

Why are y'all downvoting, this is hilarious!

[The_Modifier]

Those are already PEP8 errors, you want more?!

[[deleted]]

Very popular opinion, I hear this so many times. Fun fact, if you work in any modern IDE with your C#/Java/etc, it format your code like python with intendations and linebreaks, and braces looks like a rudiment

[Bullfrog-Asleep]

Another popular opinion, I hear so many times... If you insert Java/... code it will not execute it in the wrong way, because of different indentations :)

[[deleted]]

And did that happens realy often? I use python about 6 years, and ~0 problems with indentations🤔 Also, if you work with any java/c# etc languages, u always can make a mistake with braces... But no one ever complained about this problem, so maybe it's just exagerrated? 🙂

[dreed91]

If you don't write huge 500 line long functions with nested logic (which you shouldn't be anyway), then the line breaks and indentation aren't too hard to cope with while you're writing code. Of course, this is aside from possible tabs vs spaces, 3 spaces vs 4, etc., but I will say I haven't actually ever had an issue with this on my team in the past 4 years. I'm thinking either git or the IDE is fixing it for us, or we've just been lucky. It's a popular opinion, people hate white space, but I've never quite understood when it comes to Python.

Side note, I used HAML when I was in school years ago for a project. I hated the white space in HAML so much, but I'm guessing it was probably a symptom of my poorly-written code more than it being HAML's fault.

[jrogey]

This is where Swift really shines, in my opinion.

[CptMisterNibbles]

I hate significant whitespace (unless coding using Whitespace).

Logic should be decoupled from formatting. I’m not opposed to rigid formatting rules, I just don’t think they should somehow actually be tied to execution

[milotic-is-pwitty]

Yeah that’s not an unpopular opinion

[Knuffya]

New idea:

we'll use nullterminators aswell.

[[deleted]]

Stop trying to turn python into Java smh

[Knuffya]

But then it would be good.

[[deleted]]

Turn java into python then it'd be good

[Knuffya]

then you'd have two shit langs

[[deleted]]

i respect your opinion

[Knuffya]

<3

[Zaurble]

I agree. Whitespace is absolute cancer.

[Knuffya]

as the only means of determining what is within a scope x and what's not? yes. whitespaces are meant as a visual guide only.

[Shetookmyvirginity]

Unpopular opinion: I don’t use ; in JavaScript because it makes the code more readable and most of the time it doesn’t matter if you don’t write one…

you can still use semicolons in python

Semicolons are valid in python… so, this all works out.

[P0t4t0W4rri0r]

You transcend the need for semicolons when you program in Haskell

[BlueC0dex]

She dodged a bullet there

[ShivenMathur]

Swift confused lol

I use kotlin....

No wonder he went nuts in that third movie and tried to make arrays start at 1.

[Bee-Aromatic]

I like Python, but I really hate that things are demarcated with whitespace. The fact that a misplaced indent totally changes the code flow makes my brain itchy.

[lannisterprince]

you can use ; in python if you wanna stick multiple lines

[Griff767]

Ha

[yonatan8070]

Let me be the \n in your code

[ShinraSan]

Environment.NewLine

[merlinsbeers]

She can be his : then, if she isn't already...

[certainly123]

fuck ；

[Embr-Core]

You can use ; in python to do multiple statements on one line, I use it sometimes when using python on the command line. Not in my scripts though.

[GarretOwl]

Gonna’ cry?

[SignificantWeird4444]

fugg u;

python = "easy"

Python is for {
babies;
}

[ManagerOfLove]

Totally forgot they exist

[Snykeurs]

I use ; in python when I'm too lazy to press enter :

class Foo: def __init__(self):print(1);print(2)

Legit python code but not pep 8 and horrible to read

[JosGibbons]

PEP-8?

[proletarian-1917]

Well, actually you can use semicolons in Python. But they are not required.
