Python needs an actual default function
(lemmy.ml)
Also, do y'all call main() in the if block or do you just put the code you want to run in the if block?
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
I would love that! I do think there are probably interesting underlying personality factors / preferences for a lot of this stuff as well.
I do think that many of Python's characteristics map to my own personality and I bet there's something to that. Things like syntax of course, but not strictly syntax, also things like "The Zen of Python", and the way its a "jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none". I also really kind of need the freedom and accompanying responsibility to break any "rules" on a whim (Python will happily let you overwrite its own internals while running, for instance), but I almost never do anything that uses it...
I could probably keep going lol. Feels like a "people looking like their pets" scenario, lmao
Thank you for sharing your thoughts :)
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
