Python is the best programming language

I love it.  It's widely used, easy to understand, and it has everything you need built-in(and hundreds of modules that extended it further if you must).  Forced indentation really isn't an issue, and never was.  Like you're not going do be indenting your code?

The only real downsides are the lack of a proper case statement and I guess speed, but honestly on today's computers unless you're working with hardcore game development or speed critical applications, it's really not that big of a deal.

kthx bring on the trolls.

What about tommorow is computers?

everything you need built in
I need metaprogramming. Back to your scripting ghetto, please!

If you think the only real downsides are the lack of a proper case statement and speed, you should broaden your programming horizons.

eval. Nobody needs metaprogramming. Use of metaprogramming is a sure sign of a bad programmer.

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT


C# for making sense like java, while still being fun to learn with XNA

Flash Actionscript because it makes way more sense, and because I'm freaking awesome at making flash games.

Game dev is one of the biggest motivators for learning code, the way I see it.

(btw, if I sound very jumpy and whatnot, I'm usually on the imageboards, which are a lot more chaotic than this)

That's not a real reason why it's good...

This is what Guido (and by extension, all Python users) actually believes.

>>8
Name me one real-world application of so called ``meta-programming''

>>9
setTimeOut();
setInterval();

Don't even try to tell me these aren't used in your so called ``real-world''.

>>10
What, because you pass code as a string as an argument? That's your big example?
eval serves that need amply, and lambdas, which Python has, would do much, much better.

>>9
ORM.

contents of lol.py:

f = open('lol.py')
eval(f.read())

>>9
(loop for i from 0 below 10 collecting (* i 10))
Meta!

No, they wouldn't. If you hadn't noticed he asked for real world applications. setTimeOut() and setInterval() are the most widely used (by several orders of magnitude) metaprogramming constructs.

I FOOPed in your general direction.

Why are you incoherent? Read, and then formulate a relevant reply.

>>17
Why are you incoherent?
Funny, not only is this in itself incoherent, the sentence adjacent to it is also. In fact, you should probably be thanking me for even trying to decipher the bumbling mess of text you produced.

>>11
Don't you feel a little retarded suggesting that metaprogramming is best accomplished by calling an interpreter? That would be slow as fuck. I can only conclude that bitches don't know about my inner loops. Compile-time code generation or GTFO.

bbcode
why do i always fail
