/prog/ - elif python

What's the point of using elif, I can save time by using if instead.

Since Guido's interpreter is a piece of shit you have to spoonfed it to make it run at any reasonable speed, hence the pointless keywords and the lack of good features.

lol GIL

It's more for readability. You can have a separate if statement in an elif, so for the sake of readability elif helps visualize nested functions. My 2 cents.... But yeah elif is pretty pointless.

The point in elif is that you won't have to indent your code by 4125 tabs.

Even Google is unable to remove the GIL. They've dropped that out of the project plan for unladen swallow. The problem is not the interpreter; it's that the language itself has some tremendous design flaws.

Look at what Google is accomplishing with this:

Unladen Swallow 2009Q3 is the second release of Unladen Swallow to use LLVM for native code generation, and the first to use runtime feedback for optimization.

Highlights:
* Unladen Swallow 2009Q3 uses up to 930% less memory than the 2009Q2 release.
Lowlights:
* Memory usage is still 2-3x that of Python 2.6.1.

(And I say this as a big fan of Python; it's probably my favorite high-level language.)

I meant that elif is more synaptic sugar than anything else. Came out a little wrong.

No amount of scrolling down will make that measurement make sense.
