Programming Languages
(lemmy.ml)
Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
Python is cool IMO, got loads of libraries and gets your little app up in notime.
Not for larger projects though.
JavaScript is like the unsafest language I have touched in the last 20 years, yikes!
Still would use it as a web front end instead of python ofc.
Before 3.9 the lack of type hints made it a nightmare for large projects. Strong typing is, among other benefits, a way of self documentation and helps IDEs with auto-complete. If I use Python I always use type hints and if I have to use JS sigo with Typescript instead
Python without type hints is torture. I always need to have the fucking docs opened for anything, and if the docs are bad you're screwed, get ready to read the source code. Like fucking hell man, just let me autocomplete this shit...
