no python? how are normie programmers like me supposed to relate to this?

[-] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 78 points 11 months ago

You have python. You import antigravity. The princess flies off into space. You monkey patch the princess so she has wings.

And this is how I learned about the antigravity module. Pretty cool!

import this

"In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch."

The artist is still waiting for the python cells to render.

Rescuing is only I/O bounded; your argument is irrelevant.

Python: You send someone else to rescue the princess on your behalf. That someone else is the C knight.

[-] scratchresistor@thelemmy.club 2 points 11 months ago

Only if you have to rescue many princesses in a short period of time

Which is a library written in C, of course.

[-] psud@aussie.zone 8 points 11 months ago

No perl either. Much like python you find a relevant library (in cpan), but unlike python there will be seven different implementations, and any four perl devs will come up with at least ten solutions, nine of which will successfully rescue the princess

Everything will seem to be be going great, but to actually gain access to the castle you'll have to compare your situation to successful rescues to find the undocumented drawbridge control
