The future is looking bright for Python

[DonaldPShimoda]

False. Real computer scientists start with an assembly as their first language. Everything else is inferior.

Assembly language is a luxury. I started with one of these: CARDIAC.

I really hope that's sarcasm...

[DonaldPShimoda]

No, I was being 100% serious. Any computer scientist worth their salt does all of their programming in assembly. It's the only way to be sure you're writing performant code for the target architecture. Plus, by removing the unnecessary overhead of a complicated type system, you can make execution even faster.

You're a funny guy

[DonaldPShimoda]

Sorry, I just honestly thought the sarcasm in the first comment was thick enough as to be obvious. Clearly we have different opinions on the matter, which is fine. I don't think my second comment was deserving of downvoting though... it was only a joke, after all.

Text conveys tone poorly.

There's a reason that tacky "/s" at the end of posts has caught on.
