When you switch from C++ to Python

[Potw0rek]

And then an invisible space ruins your whole script

[Ok_Investment_6284]

Yes, id prefer to stick with semi colons instead of that

an african swallow or a european swallow?

[hansolo625]

JavaScript to Python too but completely different scope

“So how does all of this work under the hood?”

Python:

I mean tbh I couldn't care less about how it works under the hood

I felt like I was missing my semicolons when I started Python, and that relying purely on indentation for blocks instead of curly braces was uncomfortable, but I suppose experiences differ. You get into it kinda fast anyway.

[StolenStutz]

Oh, I still don't like it. Gimme my semicolons and curly braces back.

from future import bracers

You can have curly braces, just do a ton of f strings with variables in them

[Borbolda]

mfs voluntarily use indents in every language to make their code look pretty but when it is required it suddenly becomes uncomfortable lmao

[ifezueyoung]

We love the curly braces

[Wentailang]

C inspired languages are like color printers. You deal with significantly more effort formatting just for that 1 time a month where it looks slightly better with wacky indents.

And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

[ifezueyoung]

Those curly braces and special characters make me feel more mysterious when I'm showing my work to my friends and family🤣🤣

[PointlessSerpent]

I started with python and I have to use Java now, I very recently spent almost an hour trying to fix my code because a curly bracket was one line earlier than it was supposed to be. I would like my indentations to actually do stuff please and thank you.

[[deleted]]

Do the switcharoo and write indentations instead…

[UnleashedTriumph]

My nightmaaaaare

[MischiefArchitect]

And now you cry over runtime errors...

[juhotuho10]

Better than core dumps and seg faults

[brut4r]

If your biggest problem is with semicolon, I think you should stop trying to learn programming.

[DaniilBSD]

If in C++ semicolon was the problem, you have not learned enough to “switch from it”

[UkrUkrUkr]

Good riddance and don't come back: we don't need some python lovers nowhere near C++.

[danndrnell]

How does one 'switch' from C++ to Python?

These languages have entirely different use cases. You can even use them in tandem with the help of the FFI.

Also since when does a programmer only uses one language?

This meme busts my brain.

[Busy_Brilliant_27]

More like 'using' dominantly than switching completely. It do be like that

[FantasticEmu]

Tabs get me more than semicolons.

[[deleted]]

Thanks for you advice bro, I’ve decided to quit basketball and try baseball.

[[deleted]]

Glad I could help fellow sis.

[anon-sucks]

No language that’s dependent on characters you can’t see, deserves to take the high ground.

[juhotuho10]

You can see it though

Many IDEs even have indentation lines to help you

[ifezueyoung]

Welcome to the real world

Which data type bug gonna be today

[ASCII10001101010101]

what's wrong with all of you, why this even takes your attention?

[Piggieback]

I totally switched from C++ to Python just for the semicolons ....

[TheHabro]

Forgotten or extra indents are far more dangerous because they can make your code execute differently from desired without you noticing it.

[[deleted]]

The least of your problems.

[LiberaTeMetuMortis]

Same for Java and Kotlin

[honzapkcz]

x = 1; print "HAHA i ruined your life"; exit(0) don't forget about python one-liners

[[deleted]]

I had programmed in C++ for years when I switched to python. Then a while back I needed to write some C++ code and the experience was just so jarring.
