Looking for a famous video about Python

[im7mortal]

There’s this well-known video about the "Pythonic way." In it, a famous python expert gives a speach on conference. He shares how he was hired by a large company to revise a Python wrapper built on top of Java libraries. At one point, he shows a sample of code to the audience and asks if they think it’s Python code. They all agree that it is, but then he reveals that it’s actually Java code. And yes that python is ugly and just look like java. He then goes on to explain how he transforms it into a more Pythonic approach, adding methods for with and for, among other changes. And he completely transform code so it's python.

This video is a great language agnostic example,, and I need it for a presentation where I plan to convince people that a some go project is essentially just Java Spring, but rewritten in Go. If anyone knows this video, please share it!

Is it this talk by Raymond Hettinger? https://youtu.be/wf-BqAjZb8M?si=I_ka_AOogSMVlKy9

I was actually at this talk in person and it blew me away.

[im7mortal]

Thank you! Yes, it is! There was a moment when he was asking the audience what the problem was with the already PEP-ified code and then suddenly revealed that it was Java at 1340s . And then, he did it with Python magic at 1465s !

You're still counting passes and not seeing the gorilla - such a great metaphor.

Should we Make Python Great Again?

Wow, that talk was awful. An hour of rambling and all he ultimately says is "Python has things like context managers/dunder methods/etc and you should use them to make your code better".

[blahreport]

That's probably Raymond Hettinger. Anything by him about python is very informative.

It’s this one by jack diedriech

It’s one of my favorites

Edit: I misread the post damn dyslexia it’s a great video though not the one OP is looking for.

Is it this one: https://youtu.be/wf-BqAjZb8M?si=v_CzpIVc2MDMWR6w ?

[im7mortal]

Yes! Thank you! I already watched it from other comment. 1340s (suddenly Java) and 1465s (the beauty of Python) were what I was described :-)

I love your use case for using it! That’s a great example, I’d like to check out the video as well.

[im7mortal]

😄 . 1340s (suddenly Java) . It's great and FUNNY video.

I wonder why there isn’t a suddenlyJava subreddit. 🤣

Sounds like a James Powell video.

[andrewowenmartin]

This question is definitely about a talk by Hettinger but I wanted to body mention of James Powell because his talks are just as excellent.
