#77092 — Python/C/Pascal ... How To Choose ?

SubjectPython/C/Pascal ... How To Choose ?
Message-ID<CtydnVqzjrtfd5P0nZ2dnZfqn_adnZ2d@giganews.com>
I posted recently on a simple video recording pgm
that mostly uses ffmpeg to get it done. Re-did
the other day, it's really good now.

However, just because, I started a 'C' and Pascal
version.

The ffmpeg command line required is long and
complicated. Some literal stuff, some vars.
Then I remember that 'C' is a total BASTARD
when it comes to strings.

Have done complicated 'C' apps that fool with
complicated strings - but didn't LIKE it.

Pascal is much easier with strings ... easy
concats and such. Some of the number->string
stuff is a bit weird, but nothing as bad as 'C'.

SO ...... I'm going to abandon the 'C' version
and make a Free Pascal basic pgm instead. Don't
know if it will be simpler/faster right now, but
due to the requirements WILL be easier than 'C',
and far fewer chances of weird errors.

Frankly, at this point, I like Python. Yea, it's
interpreted, ergo a bit slow, but it has a LOT
of conveniences that make up for that most
of the time.

Note neither 'C' or FP have a straight-up
equiv for 'sleep()'. This is critical to
my app. Turbo had something like it ... but
it was like a legacy lib and not sure to
be as accurate or versatile as Python sleep().

That's why there are option parsers like "getopt()"
or "getopt_long()" from GLIBC.

Then there are libraries like "popt:"

<https://github.com/rpm-software-management/popt>

Digitally speaking, strings are a very unnatural construct
and that's why C doesn't deal with them in a "nice" fashion.

But then that's what C libraries are for.

And that's why incompetent programmers flock to Python.

No thanks. 'The C Programming Language' is a thin book and still relevant. 
Stroustrup's first edition C++ was thicker and has grown. I have an early 
edition of O'Reilly's 'Java In a Nutshell'. By the 8th edition it needed 
the mother of all coconut shells to fit the 'improvements'.

Not my favorite but when you're working with a C++ API you hold your 
nose.  Esri prior to 11.x was COM based so it was a dialect of C++ anyway.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Download the Python source:

<https://www.python.org/downloads/source/>

What do you find inside the tarballs?  There are C source
files all over the place.

Python is written entirely in the C language.

It tells me that you are an ignoramus idiot that desperately

   "Unnatural" ???

   Nominally just fixed-length records with a variable
   number of significant bytes. Those go back to the
   very beginning ....

> But then that's what C libraries are for.

   Not all compilers support the exact same libs alas.

   Anyway, complex dealings with strings can certainly
   be done ... but it's the tiny-step by tiny-step
   aspect that's just damned annoying to use.

> And that's why incompetent programmers flock to Python.

   And you're SO superior to everyone else, right ?  :-)

   Frankly I prefer Pascal - most of my stuff gets
   proto'ed in Python now and then, if worthy, gets
   re-done in Pascal. I save 'C' for the more
   'systems level/utility' stuff these days - sockets
   and such.

   Programming is about getting it done properly, does
   not matter if that's LISP or 'C' or FORTRAN or any
   of three dozen other options.

Yes, very unnatural.

The x86_64 processor has several data types that reflect
the hardware registers and "string" is not one of them.
In fact, "string" is not a data type at all but rather
a smooshing of existing types to be able to fit a popular
concept.

It may have been simpler in the past when "string" was defined
as an array of char types (uint8), but now there is Unicode
and this severely complicates the matter regarding lengths
and comparisons.

Again, not so much with Unicode strings.

Ever hear of Unicode string normalization?

To deal with Unicode a dedicated library is absolutely
essential.  There is the standard "icu" library and
also the wonderful GNU "libunistring:" 

<https://icu.unicode.org/>

<https://www.gnu.org/software/libunistring/>

It's a well known fact (except to the Python people).

The digital computer was borne out of a single necessity:
SPEED, SPEED, and more SPEED.

Thus, programming is about SPEED and only SPEED.

Try to predict the weather using Python.  You'll
be getting tomorrows forecast next week, or even

   Heh, heh ... I had a cousin who wanted to be
   a meteorologist - warned her that those were
   the only group with a rep worse than lawyers  :-)

   Anyway, modern Python is not terribly slow and
   has a function/fix for *everything*. It's a
   perfectly good and useful language for almost
   anything.

   If you need extreme speed then you have to go
   with compiled langs (had iffy experiences with
   Python compilers). However a lot of stuff does
   not require 'extreme speed'.

   Memory/CPU profile ... irrelevant these days.
   You can run a LOT of Python scripts all at
   once and barely see a blip.

   The thread here is answered by "Whatever you're
   doing a lot of". Python is great for dealing with
   strings, and lots of stuff uses/manipulates a
   lot of strings. Python string-slicing was brought
   over from FORTRAN and a good thing it is. Pascal
   is kind of the middle ground ... it's pretty good
   with strings but also better structured and fast.

   Most of my Python re-does are about a third smaller
   in Pascal and much nicer-looking/clearer. 'C' has
   a definite place of course, but if you're doing a
   lot of string work and want to stick close to the
   standard libs then, well .....

   I always install GCC, Clang and Tiny C Compiler.
   I want my pgms to compile in ALL of those, ergo
   sticking pretty close to standard libs. TCC oft
   makes the tightest binaries by the way ...

   Made a file archiving/encrypting utility meant to
   be evoked from most any other lang with an os.system()
   equiv. Did it in 'C'. File names/paths/manips/params
   out the ass. It WORKS great ... but WHAT A PAIN !!!
   Thought about a Pascal re-do ... but that time has
   past, the job is over. DO still use that app for
   anything I save to Cloud though ... they're not
   getting anything they can steal !!!

	Yes digital equipment is faster and maybe much more accurate
than interpolation of  stuff from slide rules and other mechanical
calculators...
	But programming being solely about Speed seems a bit off to
me.
	But I don' t concern myself with digital computers in general
but with personal computers not company computers to which i
might be assigned to one to use for data entry or other activity.
I use the tools most convenient to me generally speaking and so
do many other users of personal computers.  I imagine the IT
people at big companies do much the same but try to get the
most reliable tools.

	I don't do weather predictions but go to a web site and read
the summaries of what the US Weather Service had predicted using
whichever models they feel are appropriate. I do not concern myself
with those tools and models they use.
	Speed though is another matter and of course modern devices
are much faster than what I started with.  Remember C=64 was
a 1 Megahertz device only 8 bit bus with 64 kilobytes of ram.
A VIC-1541 disk drive stored only 161 kilobytes of data or
programs.
	Currently using a 64 bit wide 6 core processor runnig
at 2.5 GigaHertz with up to 12 threads 16 Gigabytes of
Memory and a 512 Gigabyte SSD for storage.  So for me
hardware takes care of speed and lets me use the very large
  KDE's Plasma 6 without much difference from Plasma 5 in
apparent speed.

	Programmers create all the Desktop Environments and they
did so for a reason which was to increase the popularity of
GNU/Linux among the common run of users.  Thank you very
much especially to Gael Duval who created the GUI installation
system first seen on Mandrake many years ago.

	Before Gael Duval did his work you had to  be very knowledgeable
about your equipment and about the Linux system to install a system.
i got a relatively cheap laptop and got a sucessful install many
years back using the XP Tools to read a DVD then made 6 install CDs
from the iso files on the DVD to install Mandriva Linux on a drive
shared with XP.

All that I can say in response is that you must not do much
audio/video processing or very large file processing or large
software compiling because each of these activities can make
a person SCREAM for more SPEED.

I have an 8-core Xeon W machine at 4.0GHz (I can't afford much
better yet) and a relatively simple POV-Ray simulation can take
10 minutes.  Imagine having to do THOUSANDS of those to compile
a video.

As another example, compiling LibreOffice takes 40 minutes and
GCC will demand maybe an hour.

The issue of SPEED has dominated all hardware development for
decades already.  Intel, for example, faced with physical limits
to clock speed, has implemented instruction pipelines and other
"tricks" to squeeze more and more speed out of its processors.

SPEED, SPEED, SPEED, SPEED.  It's all about SPEED.

Clock speeds and memory speeds are already maxed out and so
there is now multi-threading and multi-processors.

It's all about SPEED and it will always be about SPEED.

Starting in World War II, with the need to rapidly decode
German encrypted messages, the development of the digital
computer was spurred only by SPEED.

The next phase is quantum computing which hopefully will
bring even more SPEED.
