>>86912786I think we're arguing different things
I am arguing that python is a bad language and I'm past the need to learn a bad language because it's easy
you're arguing that there's a place for languages that are bad but easy to be proficient at, which I never disagreed with
>a lot of it is small scripts and i am half sysadminI'm also half sysadmin, and I'm sure you'll agree that you don't have to be a programmer to be a sysadmin, writing code is a very minor part of it and something like python or bash are very suitable for it
I'd put it in the same category as data scientists
>please name the language you're thinking ofrust is my preferred language for it, the robust type system and excellent tooling makes making changes and maintenance of sizeable projects much easier and faster once you account for debugging, but there's other languages that fit the bill as well
I'm much more likely to deploy a correct change to a project in rust the first time around than in something "easier" like python or javascript, so holistically rust is easier and faster to write in that situation
