Python

[Lost User]

I also have a Linux system and just run it in a bash shell. Either way it's quite a fun language to play with.

I have seen Police Python 357[^] does that count ?

[Slacker007]

Sounds like a pR0n movie title to me.

Revolvers are for sissies (and VB programmers) that can't handle the kick of a semi-auto chambered for anything bigger than a .22LR.

What do you call a snake that is 3.14 meters long? A python.

Never ruin a stupid joke with facts. :doh:

Well, can't argue with that as I'm only a virtual gunslinger, but I like wielding a flamethrower in "Day of Infamy" :-\

I'm thinking I'll just create a Linux VM for dev work to avoid screwing up my desktop OS.

Another good reason to do that: It'll force you to figure out exactly what it is you need to run whatever you develop on a machine that's not also your dev box. There's lots of valuable runtime dependency lessons for a developer to learn on Linux. Who knows, it might even give you a new appreciation for Windows. :-)

I prefer Lua. Python is more widespread and has more libraries.

[realJSOP]

Yeah, I'm going to use VSCode for python dev.

Ahem. "πthon".

I sometimes do R&D projects (from the corporate side) with Universities. Even though they suck at python, they still insist on using it most of the time. I don't mind it, python is decent enough, but I'm not installing a crappy distro on a VM and sinking hours into setting it up So I default to the Linux Subsystem for Windows. It works and it's perfect if you don't care for X11 or Wayland.

I installed Linux so I don’t have to use win 10.
