Why has Python superseeded Scheme?

Name: Anonymous 2009-10-06 5:08

because nobody uses functional programming any more

Because people stopped thinking.

I'm quoting - Abelson, while he doesn't like the general situations, realizes that most of the work is backed up by frameworks and it's important to stress that for such a course to be practical. Pure SICP courses don't exist in the limelight any more in any case - UC Berkeley's course mashes in Simply Scheme and abstraction via library.

A better question is, ‘Why is his about the twentieth time we've had this thread’?

The side that it wasn't already on.

Because, coincidently, Guido's taste in programming languages is the lowest common denominator. That and the fuckton of libraries. And the sparing users from having to choose from a bunch of varyingly incompatible implementations.

By having syntax that nobody except him would implement! Genius!

I read this wrong or are you talking about FIOC? Because that fucking piece of shit doesn't even have a library for handling images (you know, reading a image, drawing a few lines or some text over it, resizing it, saving it...)

And no, PIL doesn't count, it is separate and sorta abandoned.

Heck, they even removed SGMLParser in 3.0, fucking Beautiful Soup in the process.

As if Haskell can do any better.

Well there didn't seem to be sufficient interest for PEP 368, though it looks like a reasonable proposal.
PIL most certainly counts, though. It's the de facto standard, and no one said anything about the standard library.

Oh, are they going to be plumbers, not programmers?

Their own libraries, not the public library next to the post office.

I'm not sure how libraries have to do with plumbing.
