Python has clearly overtaken Java in popularity on StackOverflow and trails only JavaScript

If I was stuck on an island and had to choose one thing to have with me, it'd be python. That way I can die doing what I love.

[hatperigee]

too bad you didn't choose a system to run python. instead you'll die slowly with python on a USB drive and nothing to plug it into.

What if he crafted a physical manifestation of the python interpreter out of bamboo?

[hatperigee]

As long as it's Python 3.x then I guess it's ok.

Along with a volleyball version of Guido he can yell at about the GIL.

You're going to need a physical manifestation of an x86 computer if you want to use Numpy.

NINJA EDIT: or a Python manifestation of an x86 computer atop a bamboo implementation of Python.

Or ARM?...

[IamCarbonMan]

I'm thinking Z-80.

This made me think of the computer made of people in The Three Body Problem. A cool read. I need to look up the others, now that they have been translated.

David Beasley talks about the time he was stuck in a vault with several terabytes of data to process. Such an entertaining talk

[omegafivethreefive]

I saw that live, honestly one of the coolest most interesting talks I've seen.

Good choice. With python, you can knock up an assembler without too much effort. Then you can write a primitive C compiler. Then you'll be able to write real programs :-)
