I have to admit, must admit, that delimiters (python uses indentation, C uses braces) are inconsequential.
Python code is wonderful to read. I'm sorry, what python lacks in brevity makes it much more readable.
And easier to type...
Don't get me started on editors that require 200 MB ram to 'autocomplete'
Your user id # indicates you aren't who you claim to be.
Unless you avoided the slashdot since 1998.
Great to see you still active! I do think modern processors are too specialized to write assembly code.
However that is why Flight Simulator needs 16GB ram. And simple web pages occupy 15 MB.
ASM to speed up crucial parts of C
C to speed up crucial parts of python
python to speed up development
rust to speed up... python?
So where do object-oriented design, pair programming and the other buzzwords fit in?
Who, ultimately is responsible for the children? Hint: NOT SOCIETY.
THE PARENTS.
How about you either *do not* purchase them super smartphones, or put your limitations on them.
Most children need just an old school flip phone with GPS tracking.

Not yet anyway. Two states over, Oklahoma will require teachers from NY, CA to prove they back 'America First'. So how long until (some, probably Red) states decide to shield residents from information on the Internet they find objectionable? Slippery slope
Where were you when the Blue states wanted to institute COVID vaccine passports.?...
Regardless of the subject or grade they teach, they'll have to show they know "the biological differences between females and males" and that they agree with the state's American history standards, which includes elements of a conspiracy theory that the Democratic Party stole the 2020 presidential election from President Donald Trump, which fact checkers have said are false.
WHAT fact checkers? Democrats?
Wait a minute, javascript does not outperform C / C++ except in developer time.
Neither Java nor JavaScript can outperform C, let alone hand tuned assembler.

Exactly. This. I sometimes wonder if the memory access libraries in C could be upgraded to rust-level bounds checking and automatic malloc & garbage collection cleanup.
Can't be done? So the solution is rewrite everything in Visual Basic or Rust?
Look at all the javascript web frameworks that came out.
Every single one introduced a corner case problem, triggering an OMG I have a new framework that addresses *that* issue all the time. Meanwhile reintroducing already solved problems.
The wildest part is... I was a Comp Sci major. Why do I need to be "well rounded" taking at least 4 credits in underwater basket weaving or lesbian dance theory?
Now you guys have to toe the line on there are 50 genders, and if you were born with a weiner you can choose if you are a woman or not. SMDH
I'm old, but we called those dudes cross-dressers. Not "trans". Not women of any kind. See also, DSM 5.
all these "smart" cheaters are making themselves obsolete. If the AI can do your work for you, why would anyone employ you?
Bunch of dumb ass. You are proving to the market you have zero integrity, no ability and no value. And that's BEFORE you made a single dollar.
It is absolutely terrifying that slashdot people, some of the most logical and brightest on the Net have been indoctrinated by the required college courses. Where is your source that 80% of republican voters are in Cult of Donald? Trump stole so many democrat voters because they recognize that Dems are off the reservation. Way too woke. See also Bud Light, Disney, covid-19 Illegal immigration....
You are not right just because the echo-chamber shouts everyone down. It was so disheartening to see slashdot shouting everyone down who resisted the "vaccine" when even the guy who invented the "spike protein method" said it would not work.
FUD amplified. Remember you cannot sue big pharma when the side effects start appearing.
Why did so many Americans think he was somehow better than someone who can actually string coherent sentences together?
The same reason "reality tv" is so popular; short attention spans.
Which one? Surely NOT Kamala or Biden. Oh yeah, Tampon Tim was kinda eloquent.
