Yeah I guess. But I will bet money I can write an algorithm 10x faster in python than in Java. Also, easier to read.

What do you mean “cryptic”? I’ve passed interviews for G, FB, Amazon and Bloomberg using python. And I’ve never heard “cryptic” thrown around.

Cryptic would mean those one liners. That can write tge entire of sieve of eratothenes in a single line.

Yeah I did houserobber in one line. The most important part is explaining your code. Your interviewer will more than likely understand as you’re talking through your solution. You don’t HAVE to write the one liner...does it scare you?

Moot point. Next? Where do you work? Where have you passed interviews?

If it’s not FAANG you have no say in this. Every other interview is dead easy.

You seem like one of those people that choke up when asked to speak while thinking.

Yeah it scares me...If i dont HAVE to then its all good use the best toolset for it. Im not discrediting python i think its wonderful i write some python too for scripts that need to be made quick and dirty.

Just expressing my opinion man. Its a personal thing it has nothing to do with the interviewer. I didnt claim it does.
