(thelemmy.club)
Console? good, GUI? good, game dev? use Godot engine with its similar language Gdscript, but what else? Ive been seeing AI, Data Science stuff, but whats the point if ita slow?
I bought my house migrating days long Excel processes into minutes python script. They could be seconds C++ programs? For sure. But they would be unmaintainable and would take way too much time to write.
People often forget compute is cheaper than dev hours and unless you're operating at hyper scale, optimization is often not needed. Most are writing internal programs used by a few thousand people at most
