The sky is falling

This semester, 61A will be taught using the Python 3 programming language. Python is a popular language in both industry and academia. It is also particularly well-suited to the task of exploring the topics taught in this course. It is an open-source language developed by a large volunteer community that prides itself on the diversity of its contributors.

In previous semesters, this course was taught using the Scheme language, a dialect of Lisp, which is the oldest programming language that is still recruiting new users today. Lisp and Python are similar in many ways. In fact, Lisp popularized many of the features that make Python a great language. Our choice to change languages is primarily motivated by the strength of Python's programming community, which you will soon join as you learn the language. Python also has excellent library support for a vast range of application areas. Knowing Python will help you pursue your future programming interests, wherever they may lead you.

U MAD, FARTISTS?

Old news, Python is still shit.

So they're solving SICP exercises in Python? And they only reach recursion at week 8!

I can't wait to see their metacircular Python evaluators, or SICP-style objects.

I found your problem.

will be taught using the Python 3 programming language. Python is a popular language


Now you have n + 1 problems...

>> Python's programming community, which you will soon join as you learn the language.

because every programming community loves an influx of noobs—this board is a prime example. oh by the way i was being sarcastic

>>8
Isn't it ironic that you said that?

>>9
Sadly Ironic Hipster: detected

>>9
yhbt fag

>>11
No, rather I think it is you that has been trolled!

>>12
No, I'm pretty sure ``me'' got trolled by ``you''.

If the industry turns to python development, I'm out.

>>14
because you're satisfied with industry practices now? wut.

Even JavaScript would be better.

<-- check my dubz

>>17
Still looking. Still not finding them either.

>>18
Dubz are scarce, you can't always win this game.

Berkeley's computer science is the best in the world and its students reflect that. It's nothing like /prog/ where faggots watch a couple SICP lectures on YouTube, look up ``abstraction'' on wiktionary and suddenly think they're qualified to declare holy wars over which is the best programming language to write ``hello, world!'' in.

>>22
nice DUBZ bro

>>21
Thanks.

<=== BACK THE FUCK UP AND CHECK DOSE DUBZ BIZNITCHES

Recursion is a prerequisite for 61A. It's covered in CS 10.
