Off-topic: Why does everyone on lesswrong say Python when they need to mention a programming language?
Rule 46b:: I will not turn my programming language into a snake. It never helps.
It has a very high ease of learning to usefulness ratio?
edit: It seems to come highly recommended as a first programming language (certainly it was such to me).
Do you mean a high usefulness to difficulty of learning ratio?
Atari BASIC had a nearly infinite ease of learning to usefulness ratio. :)
Right.
Python is my first (and currently only) programming language. It’s easy to read, easy to learn, and useful.
Python code is also reasonably easy to read. It’s sometimes called executable pseudocode.
I did a Google duel—and it appears that “Java” beats “Python” for mentions around here.
I don’t get it either I’m more of a C guy.
