As someone who dislikes Python, I can’t say I agree. So, I will use Python, but I only use it for 3 lines of code snips to test before making codes on other languages.

Programming•If AI is so good at coding - where are the open source contributions?
1·7 months agoI used it only as last resort. I verify it before using it. I only had used it for like .11% of my project. I would not recommend AI.

Programming•If AI is so good at coding - where are the open source contributions?
5·7 months agoI’ll admit I did used AI for code before, but here’s the thing. I already coded for years, and I usually try everything before last resort things. And I find that approach works well. I rarely needed to go to the AI route. I used it like for .11% of my coding work, and I verified it through stress testing.
I never had a issue with loops. If I feel something is off, I terminate, check code, and fix it.

Python•Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len()
21·8 months agoThis. I rarely boot up Python for the tasks I need to do, and if they are, they are one of the following:
- Assistant code for other coding language
- Throwaway script
- Prototype before using a faster language
I just write in a language few people really knows well. Not like I expect AI to do a great job of basing off my code.
I only used LLM-generated code once. I tested and made modifications to see if it was I want. It worked out.
In G’MIC, there’s
repeat(num_of_iters,_var_name,code(););on JIT code, and repeat code_block done outside of JIT. It has while, for, dowhile on JIT too. Other than repeat, there is only do while, and for which is while outside of JIT.Note:
_var_name,can be omitted. So, if you need to just repeat a code N times, that can be removed.
Eh, I rather write code by hand no matter how long it takes.
I use KDE Kate for my coding. Scripting more accurately to some users, but I don’t find a meaningful distinction.
Pass. I rather use PyCharm for Python development.
Yeah. repeat() is unique to a few language. I think just Scala, and G’MIC has it. I use the second one. It’s more convenient than say
for(p=0,p<5,++p,);. Sometimes,repeat(5,);suffice.
I actually use
repeat(iterations,index_name(optionall),);. No need for i++ or ++i for loop in many cases.
I had this problem only once. Luckily, I do not need recursion. I know my way using iterative process.
What Europe should do is to make it harder on Zuckerberg.
Ok, I kind of like this.
Not what I’m saying. Just saying if I need speed, I’d use a naturally faster language.
Numpy is good for that. But, I gravitate toward naturally faster langs where I don’t need to import a library for speed. I use Python for simple, dumb scripts.
Nah. I only used AI as a last resort, and in my case, it has worked out. I cannot see myself using AI for codes again.







I’d say libraries is why it is popular. Also, I’m not a Python developer, and I don’t bother with libraries.
