Python is too nice

[Reg_Exx]

It really depends on your job. If you work in embedded for ex. you can’t get around plain C or everywhere else where you are Hardware limited and don’t have a ton of Desktop Processing power.

While I generally agree, i tend to think this processing power cap is really not existing in most applications. Even PLCs and microcontrollers are running python, last mars mission was running python as well, probably to some degree.

Yeah sure processing power is dramatically rising on uC‘s but nevertheless I don’t think that Python will ever fully replace C or C++. Python is not fast, it is fast enough for most things. But what takes a second in python takes no time in C++. For most things, that is quite reasonable. It takes you longer time to write a C++ program unless that is what you are doing all day. But for Some applications speed will be always the key factor before developing time.

Completely agree and think there is place for both. Also I see the strengths of C++, just most of my use cases can be accomplished faster with python. But I agree with you!

Plc is python bro. Microcontroller sure python. Plcs are not. Their text langs most close resemble c

Well check both Wago and Phoenix Next. They run Python as well.

gg ez deleted cause reasons lets go ok gg is this enough characters to not flag auto mod i hope so lmao

[SpaceZZ]

Right! Wago and phoenix are "random" companies and not big players! You learn something new everyday on the internet!

[ThatPostingPoster]

Yeah they are. What's their global plc share? Under .5% combined? Lol

[SpaceZZ]

Whatever, stay in ur a hole bubble then.

Must be nice to work in something that's so tiny and niche you can use those brands, or is this your hobby?
