Programmer Humor

Mom, can we stop and get some Python?

No, we have Python at home.

Python at home....

What if I prefer this?

#define CURLYOPENRIGHTCLOSEDLEFTBRACKET {
#define CURLYOPENLEFTCLOSEDRIGHTBRACKET }
#define CURVYOPENRIGHTCLOSEDLEFTBRACKET (
#define CURVYOPENLEFTCLOSEDRIGHTBRACKET )
#define PERIODWITHPERIODONTOP :
#define COMMAWITHPERIODONTOP ;

int main CURVYOPENRIGHTCLOSEDLEFTBRACKET CURVYOPENLEFTCLOSEDRIGHTBRACKET CURLYOPENRIGHTCLOSEDLEFTBRACKET
  if CURVYOPENRIGHTCLOSEDLEFTBRACKET 1 CURVYOPENLEFTCLOSEDRIGHTBRACKET CURLYOPENRIGHTCLOSEDLEFTBRACKET
    asm volatile CURVYOPENRIGHTCLOSEDLEFTBRACKET
      "mov $1, %%rax\n"
      "mov $1, %%rdi\n"
      "lea message(%%rip), %%rsi\n"
      "mov $4, %%edx\n"
      "syscall\n"
      PERIODWITHPERIODONTOP
      PERIODWITHPERIODONTOP
      PERIODWITHPERIODONTOP "%rax", "%rdi", "%rsi", "%rdx"
    CURVYOPENLEFTCLOSEDRIGHTBRACKET COMMAWITHPERIODONTOP
  CURLYOPENLEFTCLOSEDRIGHTBRACKET
  return 0 COMMAWITHPERIODONTOP
CURLYOPENLEFTCLOSEDRIGHTBRACKET

asm CURVYOPENRIGHTCLOSEDLEFTBRACKET ".section .data\n"
  "message: .ascii \"wut\\n\"\n"
  ".section .text\n" CURVYOPENLEFTCLOSEDRIGHTBRACKET COMMAWITHPERIODONTOP

Idk why but i fell in love with this and might just use it now

Looks like Python, but in an editor with a weird TUI scrollbar

Whitespace isn't semantically important. Ticket closed.

Python with extra steps

Python programmer encountering a real programming language for the first time.

Growing up with C made me assume semicolons and braces were needed to avoid subtle bugs, but experience with more recent languages showed me that it's possible to reliably parse the same semantic cues that humans use: indentation, parentheses, and other such context. (Perhaps this was less viable when C was invented, due to more constrained hardware.)

I was skeptical at first, but in practice, I have never encountered a bug caused by this approach in Python, Nim, or any other language implementing it consistently, over the course of a decade or two using them. Meanwhile, I have seen more than a few bugs caused by brace and semicolon mistakes.

So nowadays (outside of niche & domain-specific languages) I see braces and semicolons as little more than annoying noise and fuel for religious arguments.

WE CAN DO THAT!?!??

I low key love it. It's unconventional, but it's not hard to read

I was like, "where are the braces?". Then, I turned to the right

This looks like a python programmer that is mad they have to write ~~C#~~ Java…

My credo on this kind of thing is never do something that will make your successor so mad that they find out where you live and post parts of your body to Interpol.

This should be its own language. Pyava.

I kinda like it, easy to see unbalanced braces

Last day at the company, pushed over 5,000 commits. Just style changes, still passes all the checks.

I kinda like it..

Pseudo-python

bro what the fuck

That would be very cool to have in a code autoformatter

Honestly, looks neat, might adopt this

Damn. That’s tidy to the point of inconvenience.

I'm not a coder, and.... Well... Thanks, I hate it.

Even I know this is horrific. Where the fuck does this statement end? Which of these brackets refer to this section of other brackets. Idfk.

I could give a shit less if it was just for a single block per or something but ";}}}" hurts me.

Auto formatter as part of the expected language tooling is Go's greatest move, even if their formatter doesn't go far enough.

The braces need indentation, of course.

I’m more concerned about that poor stack with all those recursions.

It’s also ~~O(n^2)~~ O(n!). I’m not sure what they’re trying to do, but I’m sure it can be done in O(n) (or at least polynomial).

Reject.
