It took me a good 20 minutes to realize why my Python code wasn't working. Then it hit me.

I am not a python guy but I'd think the user = 1 thingy makes that it only ever goes if and not the else? 😅

@linuxxx
That's not the problem, haha. I wrote it in Ruby.

@ThatDude
Nope. Not yet.

@ThatDude
I did forget about them, until now haha.

Cons of knowing multiple languages.

@PrivateGER
Yesss. I always mix them up.

@Michelle Ahh nevermind me. I never programmed in either language and don't know much of the differences 😅

*walks out silently and emberrassed (I have no clue how to spell that one)*

@linuxxx
Don't worry. It's a common mistake, so you're not the only one. I'm the one who coded in Ruby, so I'm the ignorant one lol.
Also, it's spelled embarrassed :).

@Michelle THAT ONE FUCKING LETTER. Thankies 😊

@GodHatesMe
I indented correctly. I wrote in Ruby, that's why.

I feel like no one here uses Ruby lol. It's not *that* useless.

@ThatDude
It's really easy and elegant. It's useless without the framework, Ruby on rail, but it's still really good.

Ahh you have been spending time in Ruby land I imagine :P to me it happened similarly when I tried using blocks in Python, i was weirded out when the interpreter gulped an error out and was all like "waaaait a minuuuute"

@Michelle not really useless, it is used extensively with Puppet for sys admin stuff and with Metasploit as the scripting language of choice for that framework. Really powerful and elegant language, i wish it was used more in ml

@AleCx04
I think these mistakes occur because Ruby has such a similar syntax to Python.

@AleCx04
Yes, with Ruby on rails it's powerful, without it, not really.

I saw "puts" in .py
Immediately realized you must be debugging recently in RoR, as I am doing the same using puts and debugging the hard way.

@github
Good luck with debugging!

@Michelle thanks.. 😀

Ruby is ❤

@Ashkin I find it slightly difficult. Maybe because I started ruby with RoR. Personally, I don't like it. Even had a rant on it.. teehee

@sslPoodle
It's in the comments. I was writing in Ruby :)

@sslPoodle
It's fine :)

@AlexDeLarge
The struggle is real xD

@AlexDeLarge
Most of my errors include missing semicolons, so instead of realizing the fact I used the wrong language, I always check for semicolons. Though the worst is when you mix languages together.
Like mixing Ruby and JavaScript together.

Var x = test
puts x

@AlexDeLarge That sounds like you 😊

it took you 20 min to understand the error messages ? 🤔

@linuxxxxxx
The error kept saying something about line 3, but there was nothing wrong with line 3.

@Michelle lol exactly. its the "puts" on line 3 that gives it away. But i totally get the confusion since python and ruby are so semantically similar.

(python doesn't have a "puts" method unless explicitly defined ofcourse)

because it's ruby?

@gofrendi
I still have a lot more languages to learn. Thanks :)

@Michelle I was wondering! I was like, “this isn’t how you write python!”

Ruby ftw!

@Michelle if you can code in ruby by accident, you may have fun with Elixir

No ':' after block creations, puts instead of print(). Are you learning Python 2 in 2017? WHY.

@afrometal
I just got mixed up is all. I already know Python 3, there's no reason for me to use 2..

@Michelle was about to ask,if that isn't Ruby because of that puts lmao

And why the duck do I get that as recommended

@gitpull
You're almost 6 months late to this post lol.

@Michelle ikr also recognised that hahah
