Re: What programming language do you hate the most? (Python)

Python

Was my second vote, because of bad experiences.

it's very restrictive, how can you claim to be allow multiple paradigms like functional programing, and restrict lambdas ( i.e. anonymous subs) to one statement?
misconceptions thru opinionated formatting ( pretty != good )
When I once ran my first convoluted draft for my master thesis thru L^AT_EX I was very impressed how it started to look like serious mathematics while I knew it was just a shitty brainstorm.
The same applies to Python, the worst bunch of code still looks like proper well designed software, because whitespace formatting is obligatory.
While I wouldn't mind if we had a use tidy which forced Perl into a well defined perltidy format, it's leading to misconception.
I hate those fanboys who code worse than a newbie but still judge their code by the format. You can't argue against stupidity.
last time I looked into pypi it really smelled like pipi. No comparison to CPAN.

Python... it's very* restrictive.* This pun still makes me chuckle ever since I heard a coworker of mine express the same sentiment to me while trying to debug some of his own Python code. Just another Perl hooker - My clients appreciate that I keep my code clean but my comments dirty.	[reply]

I once spent 3 hours debugging a logic error in a Python program with an if clause becoming invisibly outdented by an editor automatically replacing tabs with some combination of spaces and tabs. Those were the last hours I spent using Python.	[reply]

To be fair tabs are generally a problem, but surely more accentuated in Python. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]

I totally corroborate! - also in python ... have you noticed.... version 2.7 "stuffs" does not work on version 3... backward compatibility, like with mu*softs code, is thrown away to move on. there is a difference between " " and " " in the line openers.... why Guido van Rossum forgot blocks delimiters on the way ? As { parenthesis } are so much more beautiful, soothing and reassuring to code staring....a left bracket always leads you gently, raising from a humble beginning, to the rewarding right logical end of ones algorithm's journey...but python lets you in the void of empty spaces...
