Learn Python and you'll notice why perl doesn't make sense.
- sabat 16y agoPerl makes sense. It's a matter of degree of sense, and personal opinion. Python's use of semantic white space doesn't make any sense to me. But I know plenty of sane people who disagree with me.
- Goladus 16y agoPython's "semantic whitespace" is syntax that gives meaning to a common pattern in code. Most code that way by convention anyway. If that pattern has meaning then curly braces can be used for something else (in python's case: dictionary literals). Hope it makes more sense now, even if you don't prefer that style.
- sabat 16y agoIt makes logical sense (i.e. I understood the meaning of the whitespace-delineated blocks). I'm really just saying I don't prefer the style.
- hippich 16y agopython is like basic. basic on steroids, but still basic. perfect for people with 'straight' brain. just like you.
- kqueue 16y agoYou obviously don't know much about Python... and very little about programming.
