That's how I'd rank the ones I know in terms of ease to use and learn

js was easier than python for you? i always found js to be a bit of a maze. luckily i'm in devops now and never had to learn and practice it much. maybe i'm just really stupid.

Honestly I'm not a software engineer and I've never gotten really far outside of the basics for any of these languages, except Matlab. Regarding Python, it might have more to do with the libraries I was working with, which were mostly AI stuff.

@Siamese Dream welcome to our village :laugh:


As I'm sure you're aware there's been a spate of vandalism recently, culminating in someone rearranging the flower display next to the roundabout so that it now reads "we cum tit village"

Oh you think that's funny do you, McKenzie?

Well, a bit, I mean it doesn't even make sense! We cum tit village? What kind of morons would do that?

I can tell how old I am by looking at your list. Thanks for making me feel like I'm in a retirement home!

You're not really stupid, I agree with you. JavaScript is really a different paradigm than most other languages I've worked with and it's not a strength of mine. Super useful but it requires approaching problems in a different way in my opinion.

Python was explicitly designed to be easy to use and learn (they wanted it to be the opposite of Perl, I think), and while I wholeheartedly disagree with many in terms of what it means to be "Pythonic" (i.e. I am usually strongly opposed to using exception catching as a substitute for code flow) you can't deny that it's incredibly easy to pick up. I liked Python more once I started getting into the C API, which I'm still learning.
