You're pretty ok, have a happy loli.
There, I said it.

Did not expect this, well played.
Colton Nelson
>best data science language
data science isn't my thing so I did not know this.
Charles Williams
I can write something that takes you a week in a day. Subprocess are petty dope.
Aaron Sullivan
since I work with PowerFactory and its own DPL language is the biggest undocumented pile of sugar honey ice tea, I really appreciate the Python interface. nice enough?
Dylan Richardson
It demolishes construct that writing code makes you special
Jaxson Morris
It's for things that would be messy in shell scripts, yet not complex enough to justify a full language.

Anthony Murphy
I switched my server automation scripts to it from perl because it was much cleaner. Don't regret it.
Still might have preferred something with a static typing discipline though.

ok genuine question.
> static typing
why does it matter? i have used mostly scripting languages for writing scripts and shit. why everyone bitch about static typing i can't understand. pls no bully
Elijah Cruz
it's basically easier to plot shit using python and matplotlib in terminal than Matlab or any sort of gui.
For my dynamical systems class i would literally plot phase portraits in a python terminal faster than loading wolfram alpha and fucking around there, see pic related for something made in 2 mins.
Logan Barnes
i can automate shit with it quick and easy.
probably because it's an ass to debug. it's really a problem for bigger projects like web apps or some shit. i use it for scripts so it's alright.
James Cox
Well, 75% of the effort put into any program is debugging and maintenence. There's also the fact that the longer a bug goes unnoticed the more it tends to cost, including to put right.
Having to define your types seems like a bit of a chore, but it means your compiler can check them, which means a lot of the time:
a: The bug gets detected almost immediately, which saves time and money,
b: You get an exact file and line number the bug is on, which makes fixing it a quick matter.
Jacob Lopez
Once your project gets a little too large (and it's not even THAT large), it becomes a bitch to debug.
I partly use python at work. I have written a small toy system to use as a prototype for an idea, but because management it went on to production, being used to this day. This was one year ago, now I have suicidal impulses at least once a week when I have to change something there

Do people really think that just writing code makes them special?
Grayson Murphy
Depends how "special" you mean. It's probably beyond most of the population, desu.
Programming is one of the most varied industries there is in terms of productivity. There's evidence of a 30x difference in output (with the highese people also causing fewest bugs). If you're one of these 30x people, then yes, you're really valuable. But you're probably not.
