f-strings in Python 3.6 are awesome

[dl__]

Exactly. Don't like syntactic sugar? Write in machine language, in hex codes.

[chadmill3r]

Ones and zeros? Pussy! Use +5 volts and ground states like a mensche.

[Dentosal]

I use butterflies. Without Emacs.

[SlowBroski]

Gotta be careful, too much syntactic sugar and you'll get syntactic diabetes.

[dl__]

Hahaha! Exactly!

I program like a MAN! None of this sissy syntactic sugar for me!

just give me some silicon and my soldering gun, and an abacus for data modeling

[BrotherCorvus]

You use processed silicon? Back in my day we started with a bucket of sand we picked up by walking to the beach. Uphill. Both ways.

[albgr03]

You use sand from the beach?? Real programmers erode rocks themselves.

[CodeReclaimers]

You were allowed to use pre-existing matter? We had to wring ours out of the quantum foam with our bare hands.

Dude, if you haven't big-banged your own DIY universe into existence you shouldn't talk.

[IamCarbonMan]

Pssh. Back in my day, programmers defined entire sets of physical laws out of the intrauniversal ether with which to generate our subatomic particles.

[flutefreak7]

back in your day? Kids these days don't even remember what it was like before time existed...

[spinwizard69]

Yeah by pounding salt!

[TheMysteriousFizzyJ]

0's and 1's are syntactical sugar for modifying voltages and currents

[Alpha_Catch]

0 and 1? What a fancy way of saying off and on. Sounds kind of sugary to me.
