@RememberMe very true, but the thumbnails are annoying

@calmyourtities agreed, but consider the audience. Python is used by a large community for whom programming is a supporting thing or a hobby, like physicists, artists, statisticians, economists, accounting folks, pretty much every kind of researcher, etc. This kind of stuff is meant for them, not for professional programmers.

@RememberMe
Python probably indeed is the very first real multiparadigm general purpose _and_ audience language. -
@Oktokolo yeah. It's easy to forget that its design goals are different from most other languages - it's actually *trying* to cater to the layman, and that's a good thing because it fills that niche like nothing else does.
fuck off with the “do x in y lines of python code” it’s getting so goddamn annoying. yes python is concise. yes libraries do everything. you don’t need to show off someone else’s work with clickbait.
everything is like
“make a web server in 2 lines of python code”
import http.server
server = http.server.serve()
“mine bitcoin in 2 lines of python code”
import bitcoinminer
bitcoinminer.mine()
“do crazy math with 4 lines of python code”
import complex
import numpy
num1 = 1
num2 = 1
num3 = complex.addVectorMagnitudes(num1, num2)
rant
satire
fuck off
