Nope, that’s not a definition of opinion. And this opinion is leagues away from your original post. If you can’t see this - be my guest, go on making up dreams of " I stuck a chord" and whatever else you are imagining

“It sucks because I can’t see why it is even useful” is not an opinion, it is ignorance, and you have already shown it to be a willful one. No wonder you get shat on repeatedly

If you can’t think of a reason, then you could have just asked. Or read a few threads here or somewhere else. But instead you went forward typing your oh so very informed opinion, which itself is a good invitation for “shut up, lousy know-nothing type of human” kind of response. I do hope you’ll do better next time you see a piece of lore and culture you have no clue about

Of course. We just can’t quit

You asked for it, smart ass

No, it just so happens I have a minute to talk about our lord and saviour JS. What is His holy and sacred mission?

Of course. Nothing beats JS, oh guru mighty guru

Meanwhile IntelliJ: let’s copycat VSCodium UI

So, all you’ve mustered is some lame-ass whataboutism? Have a good day

Aand what is your point?

Scanned the article: neither mission, nor purpose, nor type coercion unga-bunga explained. Or was I expected to see the greatness of the language and be humbled by its glory and might?

Hear me out:

“11” - 1 = “11” - (-1) = “11” (did not find “-1” in "11)

Or

“11” - 1 = “11” - (-1) = “1” (removed first “1”)

Lol. In a dynamically typed language? I will do this always, that’s why I am using it

Yeah. It is high time all people recognized that just as body can malfunction, mind can also, and this is not going to be wished or waived away as laziness, occasional lack of phocus, bad mood and so on and so forth

Thank you. This is much appreciated

People are dumb. I don’t have ADHD and still can relate, because when a few things in a row don’t go as planned and require extra steps to get done, I get a desire to kill and smash

Thank you for sharing your thoughts :)

Python will happily let you overwrite its own internals while running, for instance

Damn, that’s cool and I did not even know. Pretty sure I would not do this in production code, but very glad very this possibility exists

Take some place currently having UTC+12 time zone, say Marshall Islands. Midnight by UTC, the moment date changes, is exactly noon there. So how should people there talk about time? There is no “Tuesday the 15th of May” there, because every day is one part one date, other part another date

So yeah. For computers and programmers “whole planet lives in UTC” might look like a boon (for a time I myself wished for it), but only until they start facing other, more twisted problems

Someone should get their hands on someone like me and someone like you and study their brains. I spend most time with PHP and C++, and Python looks like an attempt to write code like prose literature. Very interesting how much of this is habbit, as it can’t be just that: reading prose and poetry in English/Russian/Japanese never produced this kind of resentment

As much as I am inclined to agree with this, still can’t

see: LISP

Also, see: Python with more than three lines of logic. I could suspect that’s just the me-versus-whitespaces thing, but no, YAML files do not get me dizzy in under thirty seconds of reading. Van Rossum made a huge miscalculation here
