You all act as if you hate it, but we all know it's your favourite language and you're just trolling so that other people won't learn it and see its brilliance.

The interpreter is slow, not the language.

i think if someone's too worried about speed they aren't using python

Perhaps the same could be said of all toy languages?

I liked Ruby a lot, but found more love in Python due to it being a little more flexible, just as easy, forces good coding habits and is much more fast.

what about THE FORCED INDENTATION OF CODE

Claiming Python is faster than Ruby isn't saying much, given how Ruby is inherently slow as fuck.

The forced indentation of code is a way of enforcing good coding habits. You should be indenting your code anyways.

If you complain about having to ident your code, you're a scrub and a possibly a bad programmer.

There are many cases where THE FORCED INDENTATION OF CODE makes stuff very unreadable. I like how Ruby guys took care of the only real problem by all agreeing to always use two spaces for indentation, then doing the rest however the fuck they want to.

Except two spaces is the stupidest fucking indentation amount ever.

I think two looks good in ruby.

I have three widescreen monitors, and use 12 spaces to indent. Fuck y'all and your narrow-ass screens.

I indent to the NEXT DIMENSION

I have a display in Sydney and a display in London, and I indent my code by 1 display. Thus, I indent my code by 17000km, or 64 gigapixels at 96dpi.

Picture a point. It is one-dimensional. If you indent this point, you have created the second dimension. You now have an indented point. If you indent this indented point on another axis, you have created the third dimension. If you indent this indented indented point on another axis, this time, a temporal axis, you have created the fourth dimension.

I indent to the NEXT DIMENSION BEYOND THIS.

You guys clearly don't program in Python regularly. An age-old trick which I use fondly is to use * instead of indentation.

def A(x):

*if x == 0:

**B()

**C()

*else:

**D(x)

**F(x - 1)

I then use "Astritab", a program I made myself in Python, to go through and parse all the * into tabs. I then feed that file to the compiler. It definitely makes it easy to save horizontal screen real-estate.

I'd indent my code inside the Culver's labias, if you catch my drift.

only aspies care about something as trivial as "screen real estate" (lol)

If you're that concerned about screen real estate, why not just use single spaces for indentation?
