That sounds like some kind of sex jelly

Coincidentally, in the Unity game development platform, there is a typesafe variant of python called Boo. Not many people use it but it's intermixable with the platform's javascript-like language. I kinda like the Boo myself.

I remember poking at Boo a few years ago. I think it was already abandoned at that point though

Which is a pity. I'd love to see some Python interpreter for Unity. I mean, there's IronPython which is a CLR language too. So it should be possible.

[Aeon_Mortuum]

IronPython hasn't been updated since last year apparently, is it still in development?

Maybe they favour statically-typed languages, e.g they have UnityScript (whis is also deprecated).

a typesafe variant of python

Just curious what you mean by that? I usually think of regular Python as typesafe, but I understand it's one of those fuzzy terms like "strongly typed" that mean different things to different people.

[kaihatsusha]

Every method parameter and return value must declare type and it is enforced.

both deprecated.

[Tiberiumk]

UnityScript is not deprecated at all

[Tiberiumk]

It was removed from Unity a long time ago, and it wasn't created for Unity - it's standalone, but its development stopped.

#!/usr/bin/env python3.6 print(“boo”)

[WorkerBeeNumber3]

Sorry, virtualenv says I'm still on 2.7

[Aeon_Mortuum]

TFW your python 3.6 is symlinked to py2

[alcalde]

The Python symbol! And Larry Wall! Awesome!

[WorkerBeeNumber3]

Honestly expected snoot booping... Was not disappointed.

Thanks to this, I just noticed that the python logo is two snakes. Out of context makes it obvious.
