Mom, can we stop and get some Python?

No, we have Python at home.

You can't be helped, sorry. We will put you to an asylum for people like you

Asylum? We have the electric chair for this.

Acceptable, just FYI I added a pre-commit git hook, please rebase your changes.

[–] MajorHavoc 18 points 3 months ago

Thanks. I hate it.

Idk why but i fell in love with this and might just use it now

Looks like Python, but in an editor with a weird TUI scrollbar

[–] [email protected] 85 points 3 months ago (2 children)

High chance that it's a Python programmer who is really unhappy about having to work in Java, lol

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

Agreed. I saw this and thought it looked beautifully passive aggressive

Literally me every time I want to program something slightly complex in Python.

YAML makes you appreciate Python's 4 spaces indentation.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago (10 children)

I thought python allowed whatever indentation you wanted as long as it's consistent?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago

pep8 calls for 4 space but it is a guidance not a rule.

Google internal style guide recommend(ed?) 2 spaces to accomodate the line length limit.

Whitespace isn't semantically important. Ticket closed.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago

That would be a very satisfying ticket closure

Python with extra steps

Python programmer encountering a real programming language for the first time.

Growing up with C made me assume semicolons and braces were needed to avoid subtle bugs, but experience with more recent languages showed me that it's possible to reliably parse the same semantic cues that humans use: indentation, parentheses, and other such context. (Perhaps this was less viable when C was invented, due to more constrained hardware.)

I was skeptical at first, but in practice, I have never encountered a bug caused by this approach in Python, Nim, or any other language implementing it consistently, over the course of a decade or two using them. Meanwhile, I have seen more than a few bugs caused by brace and semicolon mistakes.

So nowadays (outside of niche & domain-specific languages) I see braces and semicolons as little more than annoying noise and fuel for religious arguments.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 months ago (3 children)

In Java it’s quite difficult to forget semicolon and still have a syntactically correct program.

I think braces are incredibly important. With Python it can be confusing which indentation is correct when copying code between files. Different indentations can easily be still syntactically correct, but the outcome is vastly different. It’s often I have to double and triple check to verify I copied the code with correct indentation.

I low key love it. It's unconventional, but it's not hard to read

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 months ago (2 children)

it's not hard to read

Until there's missing brace somewhere

This looks like a python programmer that is mad they have to write ~~C#~~ Java…

This should be its own language. Pyava.

Or Jathon (pronounced like Mike Tyson would pronounce JSON)

[–] runeko 20 points 3 months ago

Or we can round out the confusion and call it PythonScript

[–] [email protected] 40 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

My credo on this kind of thing is never do something that will make your successor so mad that they find out where you live and post parts of your body to Interpol.

I kinda like it, easy to see unbalanced braces

Last day at the company, pushed over 5,000 commits. Just style changes, still passes all the checks.

Pseudo-python

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago

bro what the fuck

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago

Honestly, looks neat, might adopt this

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago

That would be very cool to have in a code autoformatter

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago

Damn. That’s tidy to the point of inconvenience.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm not a coder, and.... Well... Thanks, I hate it.

Even I know this is horrific. Where the fuck does this statement end? Which of these brackets refer to this section of other brackets. Idfk.

I could give a shit less if it was just for a single block per or something but ";}}}" hurts me.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well the code indentation explains that, like python. The issue is not reading it. You would rather quit your job than edit this.

Auto formatter as part of the expected language tooling is Go's greatest move, even if their formatter doesn't go far enough.

The braces need indentation, of course.

I’m more concerned about that poor stack with all those recursions.

It’s also ~~O(n^2)~~ O(n!). I’m not sure what they’re trying to do, but I’m sure it can be done in O(n) (or at least polynomial).

Reject.
