I’m starting to like snek…

:| me.. t..oo...

It just gets it's job done

Can't stay in the closet forever I guess.

I like it.

Makes infrastructure and automation much easier.

That’s really it. I wouldn’t think of doing anything besides automation, serverless functions or IaC with it. Point still was, I’ve actually started enjoying working with it, which weirds me out as a formerly stout snekhater.

Actually, I was doing some security training recently were they used Django in the programming exercises… I found myself thinking it doesn’t feel quite as bad after all - but that’s where I draw the line really.

I wish I’d be writing our CDK code in Python instead of TS, tho. So much cleaner and easier to read and work with… but for some reason the snek implementation of AWS CDK was missing some specific option in some construct that was mandatory in my use case - like absolutely central for it (though I can’t remember anymore what it was), so I had to stick with TS. The more I use that, the more I dislike it. But that may be because I haven’t used JS in ages so I hardly remember how good TS was in comparison…

@100110111 I found snek to be like legos. It was fun fitting the pieces together. I also really enjoyed writing modules for snek. I learned a lot about the C side of snek that way.

It is my goto for quick scripts and the like. The tools available are great for quick hacked together code.
