  • That’s because all the people who don’t have issues, aren’t going to make comments about not having issues in a community that is basically dedicated to shitting on it(seriously, check top posts. It’s not “haha linux funny meme”, it’s “windows bad” over and over again).

    Even if they do make a commen,like you, they get downvoted by people who like to wallow in misery.




  • The first comment worked as bait, but that last question is way too obvious.


    Although just for fun:

    Then Python is not a scripting language.

    That is true. It is often used as one, but it was developed from the start as a general-purpose language.

    Would you consider C to be more or less complicated than Perl?

    You know about Python, Perl and C. You know the answer and you’re just trying to incense people.

    Do you know what community you’re in? Do you want to start a war?


    There is no clear definition because there is a lot of overlap, especially when you get into the details, but:

    • Scripting languages are often considered to be very high level and can commonly run without compilation. Making them great to automate tasks or create a simplified interaction/abstraction layer to a more complex program.

    • Programming languages usually have much lower level access, and by extension they tend to be more complicated. In exchange for that, you get much more control. Although the access varies from Assembly to languages a C programmer would consider “scripting”.

    Although for every example, there is basically a counter example. Because programmers being who they are, see it as a challenge to do something with a language that others consider impossible or wrong.

    For example, there are things like NodeOS, a “Lightweight operating system using Node.js as userspace.”
