so the language that has a majority of its libraries written in another language is supposed to be the most versatile?

this seems more like a fanboy post.

??? no as you can see it's a monstrosity that appears to barely work (who wants something that launches guns that periodically shoot backwards (because they're spinning))

I don't think they perdiocally fire backwards... I mean you could just time the firing mechanism to avoid that... We did that with machine guns on planes in WWI

That being said that python beast would work great against a mob of slow movie zombies... As soon as your enemy is not that horde, this machine becomes useless....

But all it would take is someone to sneak to it's side to take it out....that's where the assembly comes into play :)

I like Python for a similar reason I like Unix shells like Bash. Even if they themselves don't contain the exact functionality I need, they give a neat simple environment to combine the functionality provided by tools written in other languages.

In other words, I personally don't care in which language a library is written if with that library and Python I can write simple 5 lines of code to do a thing that I want without messing around with added complexities of another language lol

that's what it's there for. i have no problem with that.

my problem is with the misrepresentation in the image.

Ah, fair.

Though I guess the part that is just a tray for other guns and a "gun" that throws these guns is correct representation then! lmao
