I think you all are children throwing a fit over this, what a coincidence.
Jack Scott
Can't wait to kill child processes.
Levi Williams
>Jow Forums cares about python nope.
Luke Jackson
>good enough to work on Python itself That's not what Python is all about, user.
Bentley Lewis
>user Whoa a namefag. Okay Niseb, sorry about calling you user.
Jeremiah Jackson
What's crazy is if you look at the push requests and people's comments pretty much everyone was against this Victor stinner guy.
Oliver Foster
>I speak for Jow Forums No, you do not.
Angel Turner
he just did a find and replace on the source code
Christopher Martinez
Proving once again that my instincts are in a healthy and robust state. Python is a forced meme. The indentation thing is plain stupid. The "community" are a bunch of smug faggots who are unable to supply information that has any practical bent when an abstract demonstration can be shoehorned in. I'd managed to suppress that recently, but it's all boiling out now. I was right all along.
If you have a mac this doesn't matter because they don't bundle python updates with system updates.
Jose Hill
I always said Perl was superior to python.
Anthony Powell
Kind of this. I felt that I was obliged to get onto python. And it is used a fair bit in some places. Fact is, I prefer perl way more.
Zachary Ramirez
assembly > perl every time
Zachary King
The worst part is it's just one guy. It's not a team of people or a bunch of cancer. It's one guy. Victor Stinner. Look up at the push requests and every other programmer is like: "WTF"
Nathaniel Green
>the indentation thing is plain stupid This is seriously the shittiest argument against python you could come up with. Even if a language lets you have dogshit inconsistent indentation you shouldn't because your code will unreadable trash
Easton Howard
cum !!!
Owen Turner
I adhere to indentation religiously. As you're pointing out, for readability and the bit of craftsmanship it introduces in how you deliver loops and braces and so on. But I don't it rammed down my throat like Johnny's first training wheels. It's ridiculous when you're trying to hammer out some detail in initial stages and you get tripped up by something like that.
>obliged are you sure you are using that word correctly? you should have used the word "obliged" in this context only with more context, which you did not provide. fuck you, retarded "programmer". can you even tie your own shoes?
Levi Cooper
It's analogous to the move they've just performed on the master/slave terminology. They've removed the ability for you do something. Just like all the other social justice manoeuvres. You no longer enjoy that small measure of free will. It's the Ludovico technique in the programming domain. Burgess predicted this.
Joseph Walker
The problem is there are far more people who like to moan about this stuff compared to people who want to develop a fork. And given 3 weeks we'll all have moved onto the next drama anyway.
Aiden Carter
I only got into programming recently (biochem grad student) to help out with my research. I know a bit of R now which I use for statistical analysis and making graphs and such. I was going to learn Python next for image analysis and writing stuff to work with imageJ. Is Python not the best option for this?
Julian Hughes
dude, we're talking about python here; of course he's not a programmer
Joshua Torres
I use Perl everyday
Adrian Baker
There are literally tons of python threads out there people use all the time.
Alexander Nguyen
Exactly, Python is a meme language at best.
Eli Phillips
Dude whats frustrating is it's one guy. Every other python programmer is telling him to get out of there with this shit. They got more important shit to do but it's this one guy who gets extra onions in his latte every morning posting this garbage. Fuck this guy. Fuck Victor Stinner.
As a black man with no parents I find this just as offensive
Cameron Adams
if you want someone to bitch about, then bitch about Guido. he's the one who decided to make this change despite literally everyone else disagreeing. SJWs try to push this kind of shit all the fucking time. what usually happens is that person gets laughed out of the room, which was exactly what was happening in that PR. then Guido shows up, locks off the discussion, and decides to make the change anyway despite hundreds of thumbs-down.
Austin Bennett
As a person of non-color I find the slave thing offensive
Owen Garcia
To be fair, it is a shitty naming. I'm not even a leftist anymore, but I'm not nazi scam either.
Isaac Kelly
I consider it to have a perfect naming convention. It immediately conveys a meaning that makes sense. A function that is subservient to a master giving orders. Makes a lot of sense.
It's a retarded change but the sheer mass of rage from Jow Forums and even non-programmer Jow Forums-types is even more fucking retarded. You witness people doing dumb shit every single fucking day (well maybe not you basement dwelling autists but you get the point), why is this so particularly enraging to you?
John Russell
Didn’t Guido retire? Who the fuck takes this meme language seriously when the former king can swoop in and declare whatever bullshit he wants?
Chase Flores
Because it's one fucking guy having drank too much onions for his head and is now spewing propoganda putting in actual politics in a fucking programming language. At no point did I consider that someone would consider master/slave as offensive when it has very clear uses in computing technology through multiple fields.
Nicholas Barnes
How does this change effect you any more than any other breaking change in a language? Who even uses the latest python versions to begin with?
Landon Nelson
It promotes an overall deadly opinion favoring censorship. It must be discouraged at all costs as the result of this type of thinking is infinitely harmful.
Juan Stewart
It probably is. People here seem to be way too retarded to distinguish between this being a retarded decision and the actual language being good or not.
Nolan Cruz
Someone tell him that their child died young, and that those constant references are triggering you
Parker Morris
Retard here. So what's stopping them from reversing the change ?
Daniel Collins
I'm surprised the bdsm community hasn't lashed out at this. This is kink shaming, literally nothing wrong with master slave relationships.
Dylan Murphy
I would hope they can but from what I've seen this person sent the push request and finalized it and denied any debate on it.
Lincoln Lopez
I would like him dead.
Jonathan Long
this Fork python Call it snek Fetch only sane updates from python Bring back Masters and slaves
Easy. I like python because it has so many books and use case, but if some other language would do same, I'd like it more.
Samuel Sanchez
Fork Find and replace Publish Profit!
This can be scripted...
Zachary Hill
>Fetch only sane updates
Hahahah
Isaac Jackson
we all would. I am sick of virtue signaling morons. He still isn't going to get laid.
Aaron Howard
Python btfo once again
Benjamin Perry
Imagine getting this butthurt over terms, while simultaneously mocking people for getting butthurt over terms. No, really. Think about it. Imagine having THAT little self-awareness.
Imagine being fine with imbeciles pushing their propaganda.
Isaiah Martinez
Im more butthurt over backwards compatibility...
Kevin Campbell
Seriously this! It was bullshit that he swooped back in after "retiring" to force this bullshit down everyone's throat after the overwhelming opinion was to leave the terms alone.
Owen Mitchell
Frankly I don't give a shit either way. If your language uses master/slave terms, I don't care. We all know it's metaphorical, not racial. But if you want to change it because some people find it offensive, fine. I still don't give a shit. It's not that big of a deal. This whole thing doesn't matter.
Jace Reed
Welcome to the new batch of retards on the Internet. Much like the old except instead of being on Tumblr, this time they're on Jow Forums
Reminder that even though you are a beta programmer that sits at his computer all day, you should still workout and eat well to avoid lowering your testosterone to unsafe levels.
This. I work out ESPECIALLY because my work is sedentary and I because never had any interest in sports. It's very easy and very dangerous to forget that you have a body to look after.
Blake Thomas
I just hit auto-format on my glorious C style code and it ends up looking beautiful. You literally can't have a general auto-formatter for python since the formatting is syntax, not style.
Jaxson Martinez
Your mom is metaphorical. >parent one >doesn't matter!
Grayson Ross
We can do this.
I want to program in snek.
Justin Ramirez
Why is this SJW stuff everywhere now?
I remember back in 2005 or so there was none of this crap. If you'd said this stuff then you'd have been laughed at.
What changed?
Aiden Young
When you're as good of a programmer as Stinner, you can rename things to make things more PC. It's a gradient, and dropping words like "slave" is fine. Just get back to the code and stop freaking out over superficial nonsense. When they start saying "all programmers have to refer to themselves as xe/xem" or something, then you can freak out, little nerd. ;)
Tyler Rogers
Yes, he does. Faggot.
Joseph Young
Python is an awful language (as are all dynamically typed languages) that has crystalized in the industry. In another decade, it will just be an ossified artifact that legacy maintainers have to grapple with.
Leo Hill
captcha fails.
Dominic Allen
Is this a copypasta from the GitHub comments?
John Ward
As i said: We should script this. is there a free VPS or something we can use?
Camden Green
>uh, if you don't let us censor your and force political correctness on everyone I guess ur the just like us lmao poor bait
it's because we let our guard down and they never let up. this attitude has existed for a long time. around bill clinton's administration they invaded the white house to change "policeman" to "police officers" and stuff like that. they always start with language.
Mason Edwards
this is 100% accurate and why Ruby is relatively clean of this. the creator of ruby is japanese so he has 0 sympathy for any of this SJW behavior.
Kevin Hill
Ive got some stuff to do atm but i will look into a small script that does these things! *Download the Cpython code from GH *Find and replace the child/parent stuff and replace them with the original *Upload this to another Git repo *Run the script every time an update is made
Some extra stuff would be *Compile it *Create a repo or similar
Adrian Bell
>children
Who are you calling a slave, faggot?
Wyatt Cox
PeakSoy.py
Luis Gomez
couldn't you make a revert of the pull request as a new commit and then merge that commit to all new commits?
Mason Sullivan
DO IT
Aiden Murphy
Stinner more like (((Steiner)))
Jack Gutierrez
Unironically great logo.
Kevin Johnson
This is a good idea, except for the fact that future commits that make use of the modified API would fuck you up. It's not that simple. You may as well fork Python and make something completely different. Go break backwards compatiblity, fix the GIL, drop support for anything other than Gentoo, etc. Nobody other than the most obsessed political neets would use "Python but with master/slave terminology", and then you would be left making a [weak] political statement but with the burden of supporting another AyoJS.
This is true, but what if we just wrap the wrapped the "modified" API that simply calls the equivalent in the original.
I'm not sure if functionality changed, but if just function names changed, then wrapping it shouldn't be to hard..
Bentley Gutierrez
My idea was just to make a statement version. I do not expect any usage of it so replacing the words in the source code would suffice. And isnt this only about the Cpython version? not Python as a whole?
Anthony Hill
Link? I want to read the shitshow!
Daniel Harris
its getting easier to see these small changes every day, social precedent being set all the time this happens
