EVERYTHING IN PYTHON IS ANONYMOUS!!!! GAH! WHY IS IT SO?!?!?!

Let's just nail what ever the hell we want onto the side of anything!

[Something Evil]

Well, that's what makes Python awesome to use, but frustrating to learn.

[Max White]

More along the lines of the opposite. Anon classes are for shaping your data, you don't want to use them for everything. A string is a string and an int is an int, as much as a dog is a dog and a cat is a cat. Saying anything is anything is crazy!

[Something Evil]

Pfah. Your rigid C derivatives falter before the "Wait. I can do this!?" of Python.

[Max White]

Pfah. Your high languages fall flat when you need to build a system that complies to an open closed principle. You said it yourself, the "Wait, I can do this!?" mentality of python is a breeding ground for frail scripts that break as soon as you need to update something.

[Something Evil]

That's why you learn assembler and C in school, so you don't start to just muck around with the code.

[Max White]

Nooo. No no no no no. NO.

Neither c nor assembler are OOP, you learn these then go into python then you will be a very sloppy programmer, as you wont know propper software patterns. Take a very short, simple patten like singleton for example, if you learn on c++, Java or C# then you can be taught this and use it properly. If you learn in something that low level, then you will almost certainly be tempted to instead use sloppy static classes.

Python lets you do all sorts of stuff, sure but it is all the kind of stuff you shouldn't be doing.

No we don't :V

You didn't get to do c? As I recall, in the time span of four years, we did VB6.0, VB.net, c++, c, c#, assembler (Only a tiny bit), python, javascript (But not java, heart breaking) prolog and pascal.

All such fun. I think prolog was most interesting.

[Darvi]

We only do pascal. Crap doesn't even know the break command and the semicolons are aesthetically unpleasing.

I only know python due to evening classes. And bits od C++ and basic due to mucking around with it during my free time.

[Something Evil]

Note: I meant C++, not C C. Not feeling terribly well, so I slip up.
Here it was Pascal (now they often skip over it), C++ and maybe some C# or assembler, then a bit more assembler and C++ as a freshman in college, then Python or such.

[Jopax]

We did a bit of Pascal in first grade and that was it as far as programming goes (unless you count making webpages in HTML as coding)

Anyways, today we got our math test back, i got a 1, but it was a 2 before that.Firstly, i messed up one of the three problems i completed simply by doing a major brainfart and writing the wrong number at the wrong place for no apparent reason.Then my second problem was correct but lacked a graph.So she writes in a 2 since i had another one done correctly, then a friend who had the more-less same test comes up and asks her why do i get a 2 and he gets a 1 if we apparently have the same number of correct problems, so instead of giving him a 2 she gives me a 1, and now i have to do math again -.-

You lucky bitches, they don't have a single assembly or regular C class in my school. It's all C++, Java, the like. I would like to take a class on the earlier "languages" for my own reasons, such as gameboy or NES homebrew.

Fun fact: I bet you all didn't know that homebrew for the SNES is much harder to put together than homebrew for the original NES.

Learning F#, so fucking confused.

Learning F#, so fucking confused.

F#? That's nothing! Try playing a serious song in the key of E no wait we're still talking programming.
