    can you really call python programming though? The reason why python is so quick to write is because its so-called libraries are pre-compiled C programs. so you’re not writing new programs, you’re scripting existing ones.

      The same is true for JVM bytecode, and C operations really are just aliases for ASM operations, and ASM (sometimes) is just aliases for microcode operations

          But there are still if, while, function definitions, etc. in scripting languages. It doesn’t seem to me that different than even programming in assembler. In Assembler you also call subroutines, etc. and in every other language you also call functions from libraries.

    Java feels like McDonald’s and python feels like a grocery store.

    Rust feels like a femboi hooters where they offer IVs you don’t think they’re qualified to administer.

    My indirect experience with python is that it is slow as hell. Anytime I install an app that includes python it lags 15-30 minutes on that step. Anytime I’m asked to install something with conda it takes 30 minutes to an hour.

    I’m sure that is just due to environmental and implementation issues, but the Java fans say the same thing…

      It’s near-universally regarded as a great prototyping language. For prod you should use something big-boy, like Java, or if you want to get fancy, Rust.

    But one compiling error is Java is 7 run time errors in python.

    There is a type error and you couldn’t have known it beforehand? Thanks for nothing

      I will confess that I get a sense of psychological comfort from strict typing, even though everyone agrees Python is faster for a quick hack. I usually go with Haskell for quick stuff.
