Now years later... I find Python more and more unusable.
Dementia is a growing problem for us older people :)
As an exemple related to this topic, which summarizes a
little bit the situation. I just opened my interactive
interpreter and produced this:
for i in range(len(s)-1, -1,-1):
... '{} {}'.format(i, s[i])
...
'2 c'
'1 b'
'0 a'
I did it so many times with a reverse/enumerate combination,
I'm unable to do it again, I simply do not remember!
Based on things I've read as I've never used it myself try using Perl as
that should simplify things for you.
One another really annoying aspect of Python, illustrated
in my previous code: ''.format() .
Was it not supposed to be *the* new formating scheme?
That might have been the original intention but it's not going to take
over the world as there's too much legacy code using the C style %
formatters. IIRC isn't there also something about string templates???
I'm toying more and more with the go language. I really
appreciate and rediscover the strictness I learned with
Pascal.
So go and use go as nobody here is stopping you.
