You can slam semicolons at the ends of lines in Python, interpreter doesn’t care

P sure you can do multiple lines in one line by slamming semicolons too, though idr for sure and I can’t be arsed to check

    Don't cry, babe -- at least I didn't say Visual Basic.

    I understand the hatred of VB generally but as a non-programmer (just technically literate and knows enough to be dangerous with a computer) writing VB (in the form of VBA) was extremely accessible and surprisingly intuitive - far more than I ever experienced when dabbling in python, JavaScript and Rust.

    (What I made was unhinged, unholy and should never see the light of day. It made a normally talkative .net programmer go silent in shock yet it is responsible for managing the project resourcing in a big department in the company... But it was quite fun and it does work...)

  • My joke comment was based on love! I actually started my professional career with VB (3 no less) and it was an excellent language for what it was good for, mainly building good UIs. Sure, it could be -- and was -- used to create unearthly horrors, but that's true of every language and platform.

    In a different language that uses whitespace:

    proc blank_map*:void =
     mines_placed = 0
     row8 = newseq[uint8](width); game_map = newseq[row8](height)
     row16 = newseq[int16](width); sum_map = newseq[row16](height)
     rowChar = newseq[char](width); state_map = newseq[rowChar](height)
     for h in 0.uint8..<height:
      game_map[h] = row8; sum_map[h] = row16
      state_map[h] = rowChar
    

    I'm allowed to do it, it's allowed

    (I don't use it a lot and I'm sure many dislike this because longer lines especially if they have less display width for whatever reason)

    She's sad because she's realizing he's just a script kiddy and not a real programmer.

  • I'm not a fan of python too, so I get her crying.

    I code in Python.

    Well, that's depressing.
