  • The first comment worked as bait, but that last question is way too obvious.


    Although just for fun:

    Then Python is not a scripting language.

    That is true. It is often used as one, but it was developed from the start as a general-purpose language.

    Would you consider C to be more or less complicated than Perl?

    You know about Python, Perl and C. You know the answer and you’re just trying to incense people.

    Do you know what community you’re in? Do you want to start a war?


    There is no clear definition because there is a lot of overlap, especially when you get into the details, but:

    • Scripting languages are often considered to be very high level and can commonly run without compilation. Making them great to automate tasks or create a simplified interaction/abstraction layer to a more complex program.

    • Programming languages usually have much lower level access, and by extension they tend to be more complicated. In exchange for that, you get much more control. Although the access varies from Assembly to languages a C programmer would consider “scripting”.

    Although for every example, there is basically a counter example. Because programmers being who they are, see it as a challenge to do something with a language that others consider impossible or wrong.

    For example, there are things like NodeOS, a “Lightweight operating system using Node.js as userspace.”








  • It’s banned in several European countries like Germany, France, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Norway, Iceland and Greece. And it’s pending legislation in several others. As to why it wasn’t EU law already: Some of the legislations are pretty new so it wasn’t considered as something the majority would approve until they started implementing their own laws. On top of that several EU countries have pretty strong homophobic communities.

    Countries like Poland. In 2020 the EU was witholding funding for parts of Poland, because they established “LGBT-free zones”. And the last one was only made invalid by the Administrative court last month.

    No.

    The vast majority of ADHD memes made by self-diagnosed people who have no idea how it actually works.

    They’re the same as the type of people who claim they have OCD because they like to clean up right after eating. While in reality people with severe OCD can end up standing outside their front door in the rain and get soaking wet for 20min, because they have to unlock the door in pattern they can’t get right.
