Convince me to start learning python. Also, how much difference is there between 2.7 and 3?

Just learn 3 if you are starting out
The reasons to learn python:
easy
tons of modules for interacting with many programs
95% chance whatever you're doing has already been done and posted online
Landon Collins
Easy to learn, easy to maintain because great readability, many libraries.
There are some differences between 2.7 and 3.X but if you learn one of them you can easy adapt to the other one.

99. Not a bad programming language
Parker Murphy
It's an incredibly easy to learn language.
Everything just wekrs.
While slow, having the ability to write less code to do more is great since you can always port it to something faster like C++.
There's a module for everything, but this isn't necessarily a good thing.
It's actually a good programming language.
Jeremiah Rodriguez
With PyPy speed shouldn't be a problem, as long as performance isn't crucial for the task(s) the program/script performs.
Nathan Adams
Learn Python. 0.3.
Aiden Reed
OP here, convinced.
How easy/hard will the jump to CS/C++/Java be, coming from python?
James Evans
I've got three versions of Eclipse: one for Java, one for C++, and one for javascript, php, etc.
Which one should I install PyDev on? The Java one?
Zachary Wright
I feel that the jump from C to anything is incredibly easy, but the jump from Python to another language might be a little weird.
Isaiah Davis
very, start with C#, Java or C++ and then learn Python, I did that, started with C#, Java and learned C++ in 3 months after that, Python, I learned on the weekends just for fun.
Im not trashing it, its great lang, its just better to start with the others.
Zachary Myers
none
use pycharm
William Morris
Why? (OP)
Jonathan Hill
this, I did it the other way around and its a pain in the ass
Jacob Howard
Its syntax.
Noah Torres
Can one learn Python from absolute scratch besides the fact of being good at only using a computer/software ?
John Hall
Would you recommend Intellij, WebStorm, CLion and PHPStorm too?
Asher Lee
It's fun and quite easy to grasp. . I'm a n00b and already made something besides hello world
Nolan Flores
>hasn't even begun learning to program
>already thinking about other languages
You'll give up after 5 days of not being able to create a videogame anyway.
Ian Sanders
>buy IDE
Asher Myers
Python has some quirks that can make learning something like C/C++/Java (fuck Java tho) somewhat of an adjustment (e.g. indentation actually matters, variables don't have a declared type, for loops only use iterables, weird OO)
Personally though I still think it's a great way to learn a useful language and jumpstart an interest in programming

pycharm is free you cuck
Isaac Miller
If you start out don't "just learn 3" learn 2 first, if you only learn 3 there is a big chance you have no fucking clue what'S going on "under the hood"
Gabriel Lee
Liam Torres
How's that? (not OP, just wondering)
Adam Cooper
If you want to learn, then yes.
Easton Bailey
USE VIM!!!!
John Gonzalez
Ok and? Community edition is plenty for a beginner (or even a non-beginner if they don't need the webcuck features)
Robert Gomez
fuck off, use emacs instead of this trash OP
Justin Cooper

Blake Ross
haha, it's almost as if you should kys or something!

Unacceptable leddit faggotry.

Yes.
Ethan Robinson
The only way you would know that is if you browsed reddit, you cuck
Austin Davis

Kill yourselves.
I first saw it on YouTube, fuck if I know whatever reddit does.

don't listen to these retards install atom, join the church of atom

Python is great. It's my go-to language for anything I need to do anymore. It's just so easy to bang something out that does the job you need done.
Ian Fisher
Good idea
Levi Cruz
Don't listen to people who tell you to use IDE. Use a text editor.
Evan Barnes
If you need a job: C/C++/C# and Swift.
Jack Perez
Why? (op)
Landon Jenkins
An I IDE gives you an error before you even start typing. You might think this is great but it bad practice. Use your command line and a text editor. Get familiar with the errors. Know what python is trying to say, not the IDE.
William Murphy
>having to sign a privacy policy for an IDE
Hunter Ramirez
yeah i can see that. i learnt java first and the jump to c was easy in some ways but a pain in others (memory, pointers, having to do so much shit manually).
Connor Thompson
and Java. everywhere uses java and it is like lego programming as you just click premade shit together and earn £80k for doing it.
java is the language you use if you dont really like programming for a living but you hate it less than doing any other kind of job.
