  Let’s try this instead

  package main
  
  import "actions"
  import "entities"
  
  func main() {
      actions.Fuck(entities.You)
  }

    this is why python > go. even a kid knows what my insult means

      This gotta be ragebait, everyone know that a language isn’t bad or good only for a single thing, hell there is no bad language, the reason why “python is better” is because you use it to make kids learn how to program, this is a good use, every other use is just…not good since it’s slow as hell and the indented syntax make it hell to write with.

        There’s no bad language you say? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck

      I love Python because it’s actually the second best language to do anything. For concurrency, Go is better. Also, you are terribly naive to judge a language only by its syntax.

        i’m a linguist so i’m super nitpicky about shit that just doesn’t matter at all. like i try to make python read like it’s a declarative language rather than an imperative one because it’s looks more grammatically correct that way (in other words, typing shit like dog.walks() instead of dog.walk()

    So much bloat. So many boilerplates. Just

    package main
    fuck you() {}

    is enough.

  Python is demonstrably worst for the planet than Go.

    Interesting, but misguided, I think.

    If you’ve selected Python as your programming language, then your problem is likely either to do some text processing, a server-side lambda, or to provide a quick user interface. If you’re using it for eg. Numpy, then you’re really using Python to load and format some data before handing it to a dedicated maths library for evaluation.

    If you’ve selected Go as your programming language, then your problem is likely to be either networking related - perhaps to provide a microservice that mediates between network and database - or orchestration of some kind. Kubernetes is the famous one, but a lot of system configuration tools use it to manipulate a variety of other services.

    What these uses have in common is that they’re usually disk- or network- limited and spend most of their time waiting, so it doesn’t matter so much if they’re not super efficient. If you are planning to peg the CPU at 100% for hours on end, you wouldn’t choose them - you’d reach for C / C++ / Rust. Although Swift does remarkably well, too.

    Seeing how quickly you can solve Fannkuch-Redux using Python is a bit like seeing how quickly you can drive nails into a wall using a screwdriver. Interesting in its way, but you’d be better picking up the correct tool in the first place.

  Haven’t python reintroduced the infix notation? That’s incredibly exhausting and lame. A simple fuck you would look much fancier
