Python is the Perl of today

God, Python probably sucks *more* than Perl.

Saging a shitty troll.

I'm not trolling.  Python really is the Perl of today.  Just look at it, what do people use Python for?  Anything serious?  Of course not, the only things that are written in Python are libraries (CPAN is a faggot, I want to strangle it like the homosexual jew nigger it is) and small hacks.  Of course, with Pythonic syntax, you can't write the entire program on one line, which is considered good practice in Perl circles.

Just look at it, what do people use Python for?
The business I work for rotates around software that is written in Python, even though we're not a software house. We're not big, only twenty people, but we're growing like crazy and raking in money like it's nothing. Given that the business depends on this software, I'd say Python is being used for something serious.

CPAN is a faggot, I want to strangle it like the homosexual jew nigger it is
CPAN is awesome; it's the crown jewel of Perl's crown. Why do you hate it? Because people dare to put in gizmos like Acme, not just Serious Stuff(TM)? Or do you just like reinventing the wheel?

Having said all that, I'm not partial to Python either, but saying that Python sucks is too strong. If you think it sucks, you need to learn more languages.

CPAN IS A FILTHY RAPIST

HE RAPED ME IN THE ASS WHEN I WAS 9 I WILL NEVER FORGET IT

REMEMER THAT WHEN YOU SUPPORT CPAN -- YOU SUPPORT SICK PEDOPHILES

CPAN RAPED MY ASS WITH FUNCTIONALITY

Python is just Perl with shitty (though opinion varies) syntax.

OGHKNOWES!! PYTHON FORCES PROGRAMMERS TO WRITE LEGIBLE LOOKING CODE!!!

Both Google and NASA have reported to use Python heavily in their works.

You = Pwn'd.

This thread is unpythonic.

>>22
Aye, Google is the only serious organization in the whole world that uses Python :)

>>24

and google is currently starting to decline

>>25
Google is only declining in the minds of trendy googlebashers.

>>25
How so? :P

Real men use Scheme.

>>28
I started learning Scheme yesterday, is there some shortcut for defining long lists?

I don't want (cons faggot (cons faggot empty), I want something like I've seen in some other lisps like '(faggot faggot) in order to create a simple list :/

>>29
Wikipedia says (list cock nigger ...)

>>30
> (list 'faggot 'nigger 'jew)
(cons 'faggot (cons 'nigger (cons 'jew empty)))
Thanks, faggot!

>>31
Way to do it fucking wrong you jackass, >>30 never said anything about using '.  You should've done (list faggot nigger jew).

>>32
Well, it happens to be the case that I can think for myself when I am not lazy, asshole!

>>33
So I'm an asshole for pointing out that you called >>30 a faggot because of your own stupidity?  That makes you a douchebag.
