Programming / Re: One Of The Best Languages For Beginners In Programming by dsypha(m): 9:43pm On Sep 07, 2016 |
Imakeherdrip:There are really easy, actually. I never argued they were hard. Am just saying that most of those shouting python is easy, python is easy didnt take the time to learn all these. If they devoted time to learn these things, they will probably weigh their utterances. Python is easy but it is pretty broad. JavaScript has a lot of gotchas, but it is a pretty small language compared to Python; although ECMAScript6 added a lot to JS. |

babatope88:Hey guys. Python is not as easy as you people are saying it. Yes, the basics is easy. Defining a function, declaring a variable, looping and branching, printing your name and the name of all your ancestors, are all easy. Becoming proficient in Python is not easy as you all are speculating. Now, for example: how many of you actually know what a decorator is, what about a descriptor? what are metaclasses? what are function annotations? What are the major differences between python 2 and 3? Do you trully understand how import works? How are the names of what you imported resolved? what are context managers? what does it mean for an object to support the iteration protocol? what are generators, and what problems have they solved? do you have a thorough understanding of how parameter declaration and argument passing works in python? Do you know that for and while statements can also have else clause? how do you do functional programming in python? how do you implement a stack or queue using a list data structure? how do you specify a method as static in python? do you understand the main differences between lists, sets, dicts, and other types like tuples, namedtuples, frozenset, etc? These are just a few. There are many features in Python that people 'dont just know'. The problem is, i believe, most people use the wrong resources when learning a new programming language. For example, some people pick books like learn python the hard way, a byte of python, learn python in 24hrs, and after reading it, they start screaming that python is easy. It is not. Try the advanced features and your will be stuck. I think the notion should be that it is easy to get things done with python. But that doesnt mean that it is easy... You can do a lot with just the basics. But the difference with you and people who really know the stuff will be clear. For example, the following two code blocks define a sum function. This is purely for example, it is not necessary in real code since there is already a build in function called sum. This is probably how a new pythonista would do it:
Yes. This works, and its just fine. But there may be situation where elegance is required, not just for this function, but for other complex procedure. This is how an averagely proficient pythoner will do it:
In addition to being more elegant, this code is also easier to get right. The first is easier to make mistakes with. This code is pretty basic, but i do hope i made my point with it. Another problem again is this, you don't just learn a language and say you are an expert it it. You have to know a lot of its standard API. Not necessarily memorizing them, but you should at least be aware that something exists. I hope this will really silent the budding beginners from speculating such false propositions as 'python is easy'. 1 Like |
