The C++ Virgin vs Python Chad

C++ Virgin:
Code looks like unholy mix of Perl and Java
OOP destroys imperative performance advertised by its C-likeness
Abstraction layer creep adds superfluous overhead
Type system designed to drive people insane to limit its use
Compilation speed measured in minutes or even hours
Leaking abstractions everywhere
Multiple security vulnerabilities per month
Metaprogramming consists of Lovecraftian horrors of templates and macros, often mixed together


Python Chad:
Elegant, clean code enforced by indentation system
All hot machine learning tech depends on it
Doesn't need to wait to compile
Python scripts power the world
..including C++ build processes
Popular in academia and education
Dozens of web frameworks powered by Python
Software developers don't need to learn arcane template rules
Metaprogramming is easy and fun

C++ looks like Java? Java is based on C++, you mongoloid. IHBT.

man, I wish metaprogramming in FIOC was as fun as it first seems. Hy saves the day in this regard though

redpill me on metaprogramming

It allows writing stuff that expands to more stuff, instead of writing more stuff manually. Now add another layer: stuff that expands to more stuff and that expands to even more stuff.
Metaprogramming minimizes the "stuff" you need to write, by adding more abstract layers.

programs that program programs? is that right?

yo dawg I heard you like programs so I wrote a program that write programs so you can program the program

only mental midgets argue about languages. they are just tools, not a religion.

mental midgest don't realize that they should check my dubs

The Virgin Enterprise Developer vs Chad, Senior Software Architect

the virgin developer who actually does work vs the chad diversity officer who gets paid 6 figures to complain about social justice

python code is so reliant on imports that trump wants to impose tariffs on it

Abstraction layer creep adds superfluous overhead

aah yes python is lightning fast, it's considered so slow even for a scripting language like python.

Elegant, clean code enforced by indentation system

indentation is the most autistic thing ever invented

RedCREAM is DEAD and we killed him collectively.

maybe if it was more functional.
