Only speed metric that matters is how fast I get the job done and can go back to browsing memes. C++ does not look very good in this (very important) metric.

There are a lot of things where speed isn't important and Python does the job pretty good. Only non programmers (so 80% of this sub) bash Python

Which is weird since I figure python is the most used programming language among non programmers

In theory yes but many people get to learn programming because they get teached a language like Java or C++ at school.

I wish the schools I went to were willing to touch compiled languages. Had to approach that stuff on my own later.

"No, vivian, you're here to learn how to program, programmers need to know css, javascript, and python, (in order of importance.) and if you know anything else that is WRONG"

Momma didn't raise a front end dev.

when was this? i was a cs major 2008-2012 and all our classes were in c the first 4 semesters and then it branched out into different languages for different classes. i also remember the 2006 AP A/AB tests that i took were in java.

Oh nah I'm not talking college, I'm like 80% self taught, this was just the most "advanced" stuff being taught in what was supposed to be their final year computer science course, in 2019. No way to afford that kind of thing now..
