After weeks of frustration attempting to learn Java, I will now start learning Phyton. God save my braincells

You should have went the other way.

Update: The introduction/preface is like 50 fucking pages long. God help me

That is one heavy fucker. Have it in my office for reference.

To be real with you, if there is one lang that I don't believe requires that much refference: Python.

No matter how much I go without using it, the syntax sticks and doesn't get less intuitive with time. Its a pretty boring language in that regard, but amazingly powerful at getting what you want done. Have fun my dude.

Python is fun to learn if it is your first language. I read 1/3 or half of "Head first Python" and it is quite nice, but I had some attempts with C++ and C# so it is often boring to read about basic stuff and I start to read ot less carefully to speed up and don't waste time. It is great to code some little app or just challange and in meantime read book, when you don't have access to computer. Also official documentation/tutorial is quite easy to read and more compact than books ;) Good look

I recommend you this:

Aaah I still remember the first time I met Java. Still my love 💓

Wtf? Is that mouse to feed the python? I guess if that's the case I'm like 2 decades late to get it...

@AI-Overlord it's called "Stockholm syndrome"

@austudo O'Reilly sometimes has a very random selection for their book covers

Try "A byte of Python" book

Phyton? 🤔 I see that java already made some damage...
