[@priyanshu3331]

So no one remembers Dennis Ritchie, the guy who created the C language back in the early 1970s. The language which powers most of the operating systems, compilers (including python), low level package, backends etc. He should have been awarded the Nobel Price. But sadly he died on October 12, 2011.

[@bluefire8061]

@@ThunderAppeal in today's world the only thing that matters is getting the task done and python gets it done without throwing you in the hassle. Python is absolutely my favorite programming language and I already can code in C# and JS. No one cares about how hard to use a language is or how "complicated" it is to make an idiot feel better about themself, only the results matter

[@ThunderAppeal]

@@Avaxar There is a difference between abstraction and obfuscation.

[@ThunderAppeal]

@@bluefire8061 'only thing that matters is getting the task done.' Thats the only thing that mattered ever you fucking clown. Python was made for lowest common denominator morons like you. There is plenty of python code debt out in the world which has been saved only by the massive compuational power of clustered machines, or what morons like you call 'cloud computing'.
