minus-squarecheery_coffee@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·2 years agoIt’s the GIL isn’t it? I think Vulcans wouldn’t develop any higher order languages, as programming in assembly with some solid logic is free from leaky abstractions.

minus-squarecheery_coffee@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 years agoSubprocess is great, just UTF8 encode your strings and never ever ever pass input or receive output from the sub process.
minus-squarebloopernova@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 years agoLogging is fine, it’s traitlets that I’m struggling with right now. Lack of comprehensive documentation means I have to read the source and that is taking me forever.
minus-squareMajorHavoc@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 years agoInteresting. Traitlets looks to Java-like (overly in love with objects) for my taste. For typing, I’ve been reasonably happy with MyPy. For everything else in Traitlets - well, that all sounds too OOP for my comfort. Ooh, that’s another reason to burn Python to the ground and never speak of it again - it supports multiple-inheritance.
minus-squareStillPaisleyCat@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 years agoI’m going with Vulcans using APL*. Why create a language that makes you do more than just write the equations?
