I think you're using this meme template backwards - the car should say most people and the text for the directions should be flipped. The car is supposed to be going somewhere it shouldn't, not somewhere it should.

You're absolutely right, and I noticed it as well, but I already had some upvotes. Also, I'm a lazy fuck and didn't want to do another one.

Eh, Python has a very small slice where I'd consider it the right tool for the job for me. It's for when I want a less awful bash script, but going much bigger than that makes me miss type systems.

Optional type annotations started to enter Python around 3.8, and they have really improved the experience. Even if nothing enforces the annotations, the IDEs can pick them up and show them to you in all the usual places.

People like to use it for AI, data science, machine learning (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, ..) and even scientific stuff (SciPy, SymPy, AstroPy). So it seems to be the right tool for some jobs, which is all that matters. Your job may be something entirely different and that's absolutely fine.

(And no, I don't use Python either.)

That joke would be funnier if half the software written in C++ wasn’t so poorly implemented that Python ends up being faster by virtue of its underlying C libraries being p well written and doing most of the heavy lifting for you.

This can't be C++. Not enough stacks of unneeded template names, and the function names are not mangled beyond recognition.

Honestly, I would have expected C++ to end with the SIGSEGV and nothing else, then for python to reply.

But that would imply that Python is faster than the one in this comic!

wine God‘s name would you ever use that before rust or swift?

C++ devs would literally do anything before using Rust
