If I have a bug in my Java program, please don't tell me "Use Python. It has a library for that, you can do it in 2 lines".

Motherfucker, I'm not asking for a solution in Python, nor am I asking you to pick my language for me. The rest of the project is in JVM languages, and I'm not gonna rewrite the whole damn thing so i can use your precious little script-kiddie language

If I show you Java code, I don't want Python. I never want Python. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS FLUFFY, STOP TRYING TO FORCE-FEED ME PYTHON

ah the good old

"How do I do X?"

"Don't do X, do Y instead"

I mean, it wouldn't be the first time I've mixed languages like that, but never outside of personal projects 😅

Heh, it's *always* this way, just with different languages. Always used to be Perl. Perl guys were always the ones sneering that "If you just used Perl you could've done that in 5 minutes."

Then, for over a decade it was the C# community coming out in droves to point out how much quicker and easier it could be done in their language of choice.

Now it appears to be Python devs having a go...

@AlmondSauce to be fair to the python crowd, watching examples regarding how they fix certain stuff lets me apply it on other langs since their shit is basically working pseudocode

Reminds me of that abomination I was told to use at work where a java methods calls a 200 LoC python script that calls many bash commands.

You know what, I will code it myself in java.

There's probably a npm package for it

Here use these waffles... They don't help but make you happy.

And with enough eggnog pretty drunk.

You can use Python to generate your java files.

Usually script kiddies don't know programming. They just pick up python (is easy for them ) then put python for everything...

I get the emotion.. But why bash Python !? If a language gets things done easier than the others why degrade it ?

@purist Language bashing is common...

And really, I see no bashing here.

Python is nice, yes. But whenever I look at it's OOP stuff, I'll cringe. XD

@IntrusionCM what !??? Do you hate OOP in general or do you hate Python's implementation of OOP. Because i love that in python.

Another thread I highjack.... *gg*

@purist it's implementation.

No visibility (private / protected).

No interfaces (unless you go the merry round way... e.g. creating an abstract class by defining functions with pass)

...

Python OOP is a lot of "let's work around that Python does not offer it by utilizing Python's internals" which is kind of sad.

@IntrusionCM Okay.. I was pissed off when i learnt there is no data hiding. Since i am not that familiar with Java, the interface thing never struck me and i always felt weird about interfaces in general when dealing with Java.

But i get it.. If i am not wrong, interfaces are like modding a game. You describe what you can change in a mod, but dont define how. I love this kind of abstraction in general, but i am shocked it took me long to figure this out about abstractions.

I like python's way of Operator overloading. In C++ having to use a seperate syntax always looked wierd, and not also very extensible too. Python's operator overloading is easily extendable and easy to understand too.
