You know that you wrote too much Python, when

…you try to write {perl,php,java,…} code and forgetting all the time the brackets around functions, loops and if clauses and whereever you need them
…you try to write {perl,php,java,…} code and forgetting all the time the ";" as EOL character
…you achieve the same result in python in less time then you would spend the same time in {perl, php, java,…}
Last Friday I tried to "quickly write a webinterface for a simple database interaction". I used PHP for that, and I lost…one hour later I dropped this project.
Today, I fired up django and emacs and were finishing this job in less then 20 minutes with more "done" then before.
Hail the Snake and eat the brackets and ";"
I’m in the middle of a 2 year CST diploma at BCIT. I do almost all of my independant projects (and school assignments with unspecified language) in Python. But at the same time I have classes that require C, C++, java and even “sudo code” (algorithms class).
The weird part? The closest language to python is … SUDO CODE! I can take a sudo code example from the instructor, change 3 words and turn it into python!
Python is by far my favorite language. I also like C and C++, but cannot stand java. In almost any language you can do print “hello world” or echo “hello world” or even cout << “hello world”. But if you want to print something in java, it’s freaking System.Out.printline(“Hello World”). BAH!
