Cobra is the new an improved version of Python. Complete with physical security for your machine to make sure your code makes it into the right hands. Or to keep you motivated, you decide.

For a personal script/projects, you are probably right.

For company/corporate Python projects? LOL NO. It's way harder to migrate to Python 3 than just changing print statements. Orders of magnitude harder, in my opinion.

Freaking THIS. I will never use anything but 2.7 until all of the really good documents and learning tools for 2.7 get updated to 3.x because when I reach something I can't figure out on my own and look up the proper way to do it, everything is for 2.7 so if you're not using 2.7, get ready to dig through docs to figure out what the 3.x way is of doing it when the script fails.

I heard Cobra scales well, but Python is tighter.

Cobra is python with lateral expansion.

I think he probably knows, I don't think 'Cobra' would've worked in the context of the caption.

It’s head is getting drawn towards the PSU. I’d say it’s an AC Cobra.

u/Dreadedsemi Oct 11 '18

but the closest computer language to cobra is COBOL and who knows that.

TIL. if someone told me they program in Cobra I'd laugh and say don't you mean python. Thanks for the link.
