  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

      Don’t you fucking dare speak badly of my beloved Brainfuck

      In fact, take this functional Fibonacci sequence generator I did some time ago, so you can repent from your blasphemy by looking at its beauty.

        Looks like a bad LLM’s try at drawing ASCII fish.

      That isn’t a bad language. It’s pretty simple and it serves a cool purpose, which is to convey the power of a Turing machine. Now this is a bad programming language.

        Malbolge is great for replying to anyone who claims that since programming languages are Turing-complete, any one of them is fit for the job.

  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()
