pram posted:thats called rss valeyard yeah but that obviously depends on the thing you are looking at actually having an rss feed im interested in trying out android development, the actual focus isnt too important. its either that or the other idea was to create an alarm app that wakes you up based on gps coordinates rather than based on a timer

Type annotations will probably help a lot though. Now I just have to convince the astronomy community to switch over to Python 3.

Now I just have to convince the astronomy community to switch over to Python 3. the type annotations are only for ides that support it, they dont have any semantic meaning in the compiler/interpreter yet so it wont help at all lmao i was incredibly disappointed to learn that

coffeetable posted:python is my favourite and i think it's a terrible language. it's just it's scientific ecosystem is spectacular Yeah this is definitely true. And god knows it's better than IDL (which is what astronomers used before). I just wish that the scientific ecosystem had grown up in a non-scripting language, like java or something. Not that java is perfect or anything, I just think it's easier to maintain large projects in java than python. VikingofRock fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Jun 10, 2015 |

VikingofRock posted:My biggest problem with python is that "fail fast" is not one of their design goals. You don't have a compiler to catch anything but the most basic syntax errors, you don't have a type system which keeps you from doing stupid stuff, and a bunch of stuff that should throw an exception doesn't.
