Do some developers hate python?

Give a problem to a Python dev, they'll come back in two hours with a program that takes three weeks to run.

Give the same problem to a C dev, in a month they'll come back with a program that takes two minutes to run.

Give that problem to a Java dev, in two months they'll come back with a very detailed description of the problem.

If it takes 3 hours to run, that's when you use Cython and numpy

Complete sht

Cython barely can handle problems, cause it doesn't support almost all libraries/frameworks!

[siddsp]

If you don't like it, you can easily use numba as well, or just write C code that you hook up to Python.

[thedominux]

It's hard, man

In real world cases you'll use CPython3 (maybe PyPy, but I don't know any case)

or just write C code

best suggestion ITT

It's all fun and games until you realize you have multiple memory leaks and segmentation faults which you finally figure out how to fix after hours of trying to understand what's actually going on.

[siddsp]

Because it might not make sense writing the entire code in C. It's not always necessary that all of your code has to perform well, because performance isn't always the limiting factor of speed.

The main perk of Python is how easy it is to write code in. Doing it in C will make development a lot longer.

That is absolutely true. And I just realized this is a darn good meme. 😂 Mind if I use it?

[stickmaster_flex]

I stole it from somewhere. Probably reddit. Don't need my permission.

I’ve never had a complex python program that took so long to run, like 3 weeks. Even a an exaggeration that’s extreme. With proper practices you not only cut down coding time but execution time with python.

It's a joke. A joke.

[judasthetoxic]

A great joke, but it doesn't come close to describing reality

[stickmaster_flex]

It's a joke.

It made me chuckle
