So many footguns. Use python in place of bash.

tbh i would rather use assembly than python.

Absolutely wild take, the two are used in completely different contexts

[–] Rooki@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

python if you want to f*ck every developer that comes after you and the other if want to make a small script yes. Still would choose bash tbh.

Wouldn't it make more sense to code in c++ or something and compile to assembly?

How much more efficient than a compiler are one really?

[–] Rooki@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah even that i would do, rather to do anything in python ;D

Assembly is torture because it has too much math in it

[–] Rooki@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

But its less math than python. You dont have to role the dice if the error message is logical or not

Python has its flaws for sure (I'm getting pretty fed up with the lack of required type notation, myself), but my point here is that bash is even worse:

[–] Rooki@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bash is still better than python - Change my mind
