People in 7-8 years will move on to other languages, look back on their Python projects and think "What was I thinking?? Why would anyone do that??".
I'm calling it.

Oh fuck you you know how I answered before.

I'm curious: why do people love to hate Python so much?

@EmberQuill Because it's bad and popular. A perfect hate-attractive mix.

I also ask myself these 2 questions every day, but that's working on a react project for you

Given people’s propensity for continuous bad decisions, I think it’s a little too much hope for.

Python still is the best dynamically typed general purpose language though.

Thell return to one ond only love: Perl

@Oktokolo Tiraba esa.

They will not. They haven’t even moved on from JavaScript

@XajniN You think so? With TypeScript on Deno and WebAssembly on the horizon, don't be so sure.

@c3r38r170 they are on the horizon for a decade. Of course there will be changes, but not so soon

@Ubbe
While the ecosystem isn't perfect, the standard library and its documentation are nasically how it should be done.

Indenting as syntax actually is a logical thing to have - you have to indent for readability anyways, so why not also get rid of the curlies or end-whatever keywords.

A Python compiler exists.

Their OOP support is fine - they even have classes as first-class citizen, so you actually can pass a class around. You can have decorators for everything and that makes implementing mixins easy enough.
It doesn't have visibility management, so you have to mark your methods though.

Nucular, it is spelled N U C U L A R.

@Oktokolo bush ?

@c3r38r170 hehe

@JustThat
Nope, definitely nucular:

@c3r38r170 I was hoping for something a little more descriptive than "It's bad". I use Python for a lot of things, both at work and for personal projects, and I still don't understand the hate it gets. Disliking the GIL is one thing, but I feel like the hatred goes beyond something as simple as "I can't multithread".

@EmberQuill Oh you can't multithread!? Another reason to hate it. The more I learn about it the less I want to meet it.
