| This is garbage. It typifies a kind a drive-by rant disguised as a rational opinion that is basically insulting to the intelligence of everyone, regardless of language preference. The level of narcissism and pettiness is high, and the level of rational discourse is low. Entitled spewing of garbage. > Python’s documentation sucks Dead giveaway. Well, it doesn't suck. It's pretty great, pretty comprehensive. OH... Wait, ot isn't formatted with a index pane. that's why it sucks. The author probably has problems with the font-kerning too. > Every project seems to use a different tool and it’s a massive headache Um, no. Everything really uses pip. I don't even really like pip, but everyone uses it so I use it. You know why? Because it's never, ever a pain in anything at all. It just works. > Python’s standard library sucks What? is this satire? > Python is huge This has got to be satire. Author prefers "go". Nothing wrong with go, but nothing wrong with Python either. > Python syntax sucks. Nuts! this guys is legit insane. The only really controversial thing is the whitespace-indent vs. delimited thing. Guess what? I really dislike the indentation scheme. You could have a reasonable debate over that relatively unique syntax scheme. But the entire syntax as a whole is cleverly regular, predictable and tidy. > Python is slow Well, as the author said, "Python has been my go-to language for a quick bit of scripting". Slow is a perfectly acceptable trade-off there. And you could certainly come up with a different set of trades that also make sense. To say "SUCKS" implies it's just stupid and sub-optimal everywhere; a lose-lose-lose-lose. Which it isn't. > It’s like everything under the kitchen sink has been jammed in. I though you said that the standard library "sucked"; is there too much sink or too little? "let that sink in" The author seems to be infatuated with javascript and go (at the moment), but neither is really in the same niche as python. That doesn't make any of those other choices "suck". Larry Ellison and his company and products suck. Software patent trolls suck. Python does not "suck" because you like other things at the moment. |
