Kotlin or if I'm really in the mood, Python

I'd never write an entire application in python, but sometimes i have a few too many and think that dynamic typing might be fun

Haha my opinion is just why would you choose Python when Ruby is an option, but I do understand a lot of people like Python. It’s just one of my most hated ecosystems (the language is β€˜fine’).

Ruby? Wtf, what did namespaces ever do to you

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

not sure what you mean by namespaces. but the python tooling is absolutely the worst tooling out of every major language out there. it's quite pitiful. just read over this for how bad it's actually gotten. https://github.com/mitsuhiko/rye/discussions/6
