the truth about python...

    I'd put Python in the easy to learn, hard to master category. It's easy to get anything running in python (import whatever_i_was_planning_on_doing), but after seeing the code some people do with it, I've lost a lot of faith in it.

    That and the GIL, fuck the GIL. I had my coworkers stunned at how fast my program was running, told them all I did was do things concurrently. They answered "but so did we, we used threads", hehe, git gud scrubs

    This is indeed true and can also be annoying

    Ruby is easier, no errors for extra spaces.

    @Nicci not by a wide fucking margin sonny. Still alive and getting more powerful on each update.

    @dUcKtYpEd They used Threads, but with CPython's Interpreter Lock, that just means their tasks are time multiplexed. I keep telling them that if they want proper concurrency, they should use Process (and use pipes to exchange data between processes), but they never listen.

    Silver lining, I have the monopoly of high speed in my team 😛

    @M1sf3t you won't suffer with ruby like when doing node.
    Everything is so easy and straight forward.

    I recommend rubymonk to get started :)

    I read through a lot of questions on StackOverflow where people had indentation issues and they never bothered to format their code on a code editor

    @Sundeep Granted it's only Java, JS and HTML, but the Students for the courses I'm TA in do not care about proper indentation, they use the "beautify" button once in a while and it's horrid every time they ask for help!

    Undeniably, this statement holds true, often accompanying a sense of annoyance.
