Python

I really like the functional programming with the simplicity of making stupid things. You can just take a python, or bash, or (even) c# or java and just write straightforward code that does your direct need.

You know without building whole ecosystem and cicd pipeline and crud and whatever. Just joining things to do in logical pipe of actions.

the good

Python is great for that. You are taking your build blocks aka libraries, initialize them, use on an object to work on and throw modified ones. Step by step to get a result.

the bad

Of course there are bad parts like building an venv for these fucking scripts, and always messing with that hilarious method of downloading new ones using one of two dozen different repository tools, and ... you know what I mean. pip, pipx, distro packages, and other shit that you have to use to get these required libs.

Oh and I have to mention that great movement of "do everything in JS" with the same mess with versions of node.js and its libraries... at least these bastards have quite unified world of dependency downloading

and the ugly

spaces. tabs. indents. No braces. So code looks like the "evidence" of dozen of guys that walked out from the pub after 5 or 6 pints to the snow and decided to make a contest about "who have the strongest pressure of pee".

And yes. This post have been bought to you by another python mess that I found on github, but I needed to adjust it as it was not working on my machine, and download threescore of dependencies that I already have on my system, but maybe in different venv so I cannot use it and need to download them one more time.

Have a nice day friends
