@TheOct0 it's the Pythocalypse.
Soon, there shall be but a meager number of strong-minded individuals who can stand up to the Python horde. -
TheOct039316y@RememberMe I agree that Python can do a lot things, but it does all of them badly. I don't get why it's the go-to solution for everyone. Maybe because it's easier to write?
Anyways, I'll be the first to stand up against it, you can trust me. -
@TheOct0 haha, nah, I actually like Python. I prototype with it, then usually transfer to C++ or Haskell.
Your iteration cycle is ridiculously short with Python. That's very, very valuable. Also, it's great as a scripting language for wrapping libraries - I bind a lot of my C++ code to Python so I can use it more easily.
There's also a great community of competent Python developers, especially in scientific and research circles. It has a huge ecosystem, very convenient if you want to try something.
Also, raw performance doesn't matter so much any more, since computers are so damn fast.
It's firmly in the "prototyping/scripting language" category for me though. Final implementation, no way.
Writing a multiplayer game is damn hard 😅😐 even in python
