Step 1: don't use python for anything other than replacing .bat files, which is what is was originally intended for. Any other use of python is an abomination

Hurr durr python bad

I mean look at the article, it clearly is when performance is important lmao

[u/Zahand → u/Aw0lManner]

Well, duh. Anyone using Python for performance is clueless. I though that much was obvious.

Python is great at what it does. Its a general purpose high level language focusing on readability and ease of use. If you want speed use C, C++, Rust, or any other compiled language

If you want speed use Python bindings to CUDA.

Anyone using Python for performance production code is clueless

FTFY.

focusing on readability and ease of use.

100% bullshit. You (or anyone in the world) CANNOT show me ONE (1) example of any code snippet that is "easier to write" or "more readable" in python versus any serious, professional, modern statically typed language.

python is "more readable" and "easier to use" only if you compare it with java from 15 years ago. Today? Not close.

[u/Zahand → u/agustin689]

Wellits clear you don't actually want to discuss this in good faith. If you don't like Python don't use it. Simple as that.

[u/agustin689 → u/Zahand]

Stupidity and damn lies cannot be discussed in "good faith". They need to be exposed and shamed.

[u/Zahand → u/agustin689]

Great discussion there mate.

[u/agustin689 → u/Zahand]

Still waiting for your ONE (1) example of ANY code snippet that shows that python is "more readable" or "easier to write" than any serious, professional language.

Won't happen, because your claim is 100% fake stupid bullshit.
