I've started writing Python code. And I think I like it, at least for the task at hand :flan_worried:

@mischa My preferred langauge is C. And until 90 minutes ago I refused to learn any of this hip new languages like Python. But then my laziness won.

@buf lol. I liked Python2 more than Python3, so moved my scripting back to Perl, as it’s in base. I still have C on my todo list. Really wish I started to learn C years ago.

@mischa for scripting I use shell with sed and some awk as all are in base. And likely to be found on other Unix-like systems, even Linux.With Perl I can never tell the difference between clean and obfuscated code... :flan_think:

@buf the whole *nix suite as well indeed, depending what is needed. I treat my own code as completely obfuscated. :)

@mischa "Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand." :flan_laugh:

@mischa @buf And I thought real programmers code in Perl, IIRC someone said if you can‘t code it in Perl it is impossible to code it ... or something like that ;-)
