  • I mean others don’t seem to have the same problem with Python as me, so if it is right for them, I can’t really complain, but I would use the following languages for the following tasks

    Scientific Computing (my main area): I prefer Julia, it is faster, feels more intuitive and feels like a modern python for scientific computing

    Web: there are many great frameworks out there, i am intrigued by phoenix for elixir

    Game Developement: Nobody use python in games to distribute for anything heavy I hope, but for scripting I would use Lua

    Learning: Python is often the first language, that people learn, and I guess that also explains it’s widespread use to some degree. I would teach something less high-level like C as a first language, although I think writing “high-level code” also has a learning curve to it.

    Scripting: Fine, I guess python is great for small scripts, although one could also use Ruby





  • Yeah it is, the exact number is 25104128675558732292929443748812027705165520269876079766872595193901106138220937419666018009000254169376172314360982328660708071123369979853445367910653872383599704355532740937678091491429440864316046925074510134847025546014098005907965541041195496105311886173373435145517193282760847755882291690213539123479186274701519396808504940722607033001246328398800550487427999876690416973437861078185344667966871511049653888130136836199010529180056125844549488648617682915826347564148990984138067809999604687488146734837340699359838791124995957584538873616661533093253551256845056046388738129702951381151861413688922986510005440943943014699244112555755279140760492764253740250410391056421979003289600000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000








  • I think FOSSS shouldn’t be some kind of religion, if you like Apple, great, go for it. However if you truly value privacy (while beeing better than Microsoft, Apple still collects some of your data) and freedom it certainly won’t hurt to try out some alternatives. If you like them better it is a win-win situation, if not switch back.

    Things you can do if you are interrested in FOSS, that don’t necessary need you to change everything:

    • Try some software alternatives for programms you are using (LibreOffice instead of Word, Gimp instead of Photoshop etc.) This lets you search for alternatives.
    • Spin up a Linux VM and try it, or try to install linux on an old laptop. -And when you do that, look into KDE Connect as it offers connectivity between devices, that even Apple does not offer in some cases.
    • If you are truly into it, you can even contribute to FOSS, to make them as good as Apple products.
