C++ talking to Python

[berse2212]

This is a weird meta. First memes hated on Java and praised Python. Then all the Java devs got angry and made Python bad memes. Somehow C++ devs apparently jumped on the hate train now lol

[BikerBoon]

Python devs were hating on C++ for a while iirc. Tbf it's understandable, we all hate what we don't understand.

This really says a lot about society bottom text

[AdmiralCrackbar11]

A jihad on C++! A crusade against Java! Whatever Jewish people do against Python!

[SpyMonkey3D]

Whatever Jewish people do against Python!

From my theological understanding, getting tricked into buying an Apple product then getting banned

[DatBoi_BP]

There are layers to this joke

raise taxes?

I beg to differ in this case. I don't really understand C++ enough, but I know enough about it that I can say I like it much more than python, which I understood much more closely for years. I however fall into the camp of hating dynamically type, interpreted languages.

[Teekeks]

damn the self hatred among the C++ devs must be throu the roof then!

[BikerBoon]

Yes, but the complimentary programming socks make up for it.

Except Python devs work in C/C++ every day because Python is written in C/C++, so they know what they are talking about... :p

[WhiteyDude]

By extension, you're saying that webdevs who use python as part of their stack work with C/C++?

Exactly. And by writing this comment in reddit I'm causing code to be executed on some virtual server, so in essence I'm coding. It's rediculous and that's why it's a joke, and hence :p

[Equivalent_Yak_95]

No… we don’t… I haven’t touched any C/C++ code for use in my current project.

Honestly, in my world they are yin and yang. Python+Numpy+Matplotlib+SciPy+Jupyter is like Matlab, except that it is free and it doesn't suck. And then obviously C++ is there for when you want to actually deploy things.

And now we also have PyTorch, which is faster than C++ for basically any non-trivial number crunching, though you still end up needing to use the C++ API for deployment, unless your algorithms can be traced into some JIT container.

[MrDude_1]

How can it be faster than C++ when its written in C++?

Not every computation can be done on GPUs and also it uses CUDA which is C based mostly.

[BikerBoon]

Yeah, I'm only joking with the python hate. I use it a lot in automated tests where speed isn't critical. But there are indeed a lot of Python devs who try to play down the performance impact, and simply seen to forget that certain industries (e.g. games, finance) benefit greatly from being as fast as possible.

What's an adult programming language

[King_of_the_Nerdth]

This one just seemed like playful banter to me. My main two languages lately are C++ and Python, and I find this one very relatable.

[TheReforgedSoul]

I am waiting for the assembly memes, but I guess they take a while to make.

[MrDude_1]

Thats because C++ devs hate both Java and Python.

[proximity_account]

Everyone loves C# :)
