I wrote 20 short programs in Python yesterday. It was wonderful. Perl, I’m leaving you.

[A Cueball-like friend is talking to Cueball, who is floating in the sky.]
Friend: You’re flying! How?
Cueball: Python!
Cueball: I learned it last night! Everything is so simple!
Cueball: Hello world is just print “Hello, World!”
Friend: I dunno… Dynamic typing? Whitespace?
Cueball: Come join us! Programming is fun again! It’s a whole new world up here!
Friend: But how are you flying?
Cueball: I just typed ‘import antigravity’
Friend: That’s it?
Cueball: …I also sampled everything in the medicine cabinet for comparison.
Cueball: But I think this is the python.

    Just wait until you accidently have something unindented that wasn’t supposed to be forget one semicolon. Those are fun bugs to troubleshoot

    FTFY.

      That will cause a compilation error 99.999% of the time and point you to the exact location where the problem is.

        Back when I regularly used Java for Minecraft mods n shit id get shit like

        missing expected ; at line 68

        Then I’d go to line 68 in the editor and it and the 5 on either side of it are allllllll blank. Wonderfully helpful!

          Well there’s your problem, they’re blank when they should be ;

        Well, which of these lines causes a compilation error?

        String foo = "Nothing";
foo += "to see";
foo += "here";
        Spoiler

        The last one. It’s not a semicolon but a Greek question mark…

          Compilation error (line 3, col 18): ; expected
Compilation error (line 3, col 18): Unexpected character ';'

          edit: fuck that formatting
