@vaporeon_ @aescling when it comes to python internals getting nasty the first things that come to mind are the import behavior which is bizarrely complicated, or metaclasses
@vaporeon_ @aescling despite my constant slander of it OOP is good
but forced OOP is very very very bad
@aescling @vaporeon_ but in python you don't need to know that to get going. in java you have to understand some things about how classes work to even write a hello world
@aescling @vaporeon_ and while i love python and javascript once you start looking into internals they get complicated and ugly and weird, while java is like the opposite. its unwieldy and ugly but the advanced features are usually fairly straightforward to learn
@aescling @vaporeon_ there is a "purity" to java i somewhat admire in how hard it commits to object-oriented programming but i would be lying if i said i found it enjoyable to write
@vaporeon_ neither have i lol
@vaporeon_ to be clear, I did not like working on our backend.
(c++ is still worse tho.)
@vaporeon_ yes, my old job's backend was entirely java
@vaporeon_ reported for suggesting there is something worse than c++.
@vaporeon_ me when i write c++
