I love python, its the language I never really struggled a lot with yet also progressing so fast with it as a programmer!

You can say that again. On my first day learning Python, I went from "Hello world" to a working web scraper in under 6 hours. And it's not like I'm a whiz or anything - the language is just that good.

Stop. You make me wanna learn python 😂

Okay that's it, I've three weeks summer vacations left next week I'm in spain and the last two weeks I'm going to learn python. I'll be in the gang soon 😊

Lambda :*

@theScientist, you're right. But it was my first web scraper. After seeing my colleague painstakingly manual-scraping data from some site, I decided to help him out. Figured to go with Phyton after hearing the praises people often throw at it.

@MrHadiSatrio, holy grammar, Batman!

Same here! Really like it to get shit done, but it doesn't perform well compared to C++ /...

@HalfBloodPrince

But what will you do with the other 13 days after learning python :)

Sometimes, I write pseudo code in Python. You know, so I can test what it does instead of only planning.

I've been using java professionally for some time now. The so called problems/difficulties with using semicolons and braces never actually bothered me, maybe except the first few days. Java/C uses semicolons, python uses newlines - for the same purpose of separating statements. And they use braces/indentation for the same purpose of defining scopes. I believe the struggle new coders go through is not about the syntax, but the concept of scopes and statements. And that is always hard when you are learning to code for the first time, regardless of the language. And it becomes easier when you are learning a 2nd or 3rd language; again, regardless of the language.

It’s the only one where I’ve had a lot of trouble with ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@daegontaven how do you combine the python and non-python parts?

@daegontaven thx man

So true. I tried Ruby, didn't like. VB, didn't like. Python, helllllllo

@runfrodorun just curious, what severe issues do you have with whitespace as a factor for interpretation?

Not trying to argue just want to see from your perspective. I know we agree with you on a number of other topics.

@querellaMMXII I'll use the other 13 days to figure out how Python scripts can use the other 7 cores of the CPU (and that's a serious nightmare!)

What about {1, 2, 3} ? Or dicts?

Try:

from __future__ import braces

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, No.
