Maybe such person is interested in numpy for something matlab-like, but not in python as such. Which brings us back to the "too many libraries" pyhton has. For any thinkable application there is likely a python library, but the person interested in the application, might not really be interested in python, if not for the convenience of having almost everything already cooked.

At some point, people were staying away from Python because it didn’t have enough libraries. Now the new excuse is that it has too many. It’s not like getting married, you know; you can try a few, pick the one(s) you find useful, and chuck the rest. That’s what choice is all about, and Open Source is all about choice. > For any thinkable application there is likely a python library, but > the person interested in the application, might not really be > interested in python, if not for the convenience of having almost > everything already cooked. That's what attracts people to Python. Why do you think Python has been able to achieve such a state, to a greater extent than any prior language? Even overtaking ones that had some quite big corporate heavyweight sponsorship behind them? Clue: it must have been something about the core language to begin with, that made it such an attactive basis to build on. > A bit of chicken / egg problem... It’s not Python that has the chicken/egg problem ...

I prefer venvs, particularly when using uv to set a Python version. For example when tensorflow says Python 3.9-3.12 they don't mean 3.13, 3.14, or 3.15. One annoyance is the different site packages on the various distros. For example on Fedora you can install python3-ruff as a site package with dnf. On Ubuntu 26.04 you get 'Error: Unable to locate package python3- ruff' and have to install it in a venv. No big deal but it's easier to create the venv for the project just in case.

OK I never got much into Python Never needed it for the things I do. Also it seems to be changing all the time? Most code I write is in C or in asm for Microchips. asm is extremely powerful understand the hardware!!! https://panteltje.nl/panteltje/newsflex/download.html https://panteltje.nl/panteltje/quadcopter/index.html https://panteltje.nl/panteltje/pic/index.html These days giggle bytes seem to be needed to just say: 'Hello world'. Too many layers of crap. But I come from a hardware background, in the sixties there were no 'computers' yet they did a manned Moon landing and return. Now they have nothing to show but driving around the block (earth orbit) with all that computing power.

Of course they had “computers” -- several giant IBM mainframes at Mission Control. Also every engineer had their trusty slide rule handy. There were 4 computers on the Apollo spacecraft -- one to control the Saturn rocket, one in the Command Module, and 2 (1 for backup) on the Lunar Module.

You are right, real computers, I just read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Guidance_Computer Not much memory compared to today's ... I still have a slide rule somewhere... And old calculators.. I remember playing moonlanding game on a Commodore PET in the seventies? :-)

In those days I was working in broadcasting, no computers there, tubes, lots and lots of logic and transistors, https://archive.org/details/ampex-vr-1100-videotape-television-recorder then we got the VR2000 and later the AVR1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadruplex_videotape When the Moon landings happened I was in the head control room here relaying it to the people. Lots of tubes those days in that studio, had to keep it running. At home I had my own video recorder: https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/philips_ldl100001ldl_10000.html Later modified it for color... Video has become a sort of second nature to me.

Electronic digital > calculators had arrived ... not long after the last Moon landing. I bought some of the earliest 'calculators'. NOT cheap back in the day. Still have ONE that works. 9V battery and it Goes. Early 70s. Pre-LED. BEFORE, Dad had a "Marchant" MECHANICAL calculator. Enter numbers on a big matrix keyboard. Press a function key. Calc might be quick, or take an hour. Ka-CHUNK Ka-CHUNK Ka-CHUNK .... mech-digital display. Super cool ! INSANE gearworks !

These Linux groups seem to be packed only with Python/C++ jockeys. The poor dupes don't know what they're missing. Assembly is the most fun of any programming language. There is none of the uncertainty that slows one down when using a higher level language. The instructions just flow effortlessly. However, I do still have trouble with the shuffle operations on the SIMD registers. I need to always check the manuals to see what goes where. Intel and GCC provide support for so-called "intrinsics" that allow assembly code to be directly incorporated into C code, but these, for me, are tedious and not much fun to use. You are also correct in stating that a thorough knowledge of hardware is a requisite for assembly programming. After all, one is dealing directly with digital registers with no cozy compiler or interpreter in between. > > These days giggle bytes seem to be needed to just say: 'Hello world'. > Too many layers of crap. > GNU has published the definitive version of Hello World: <https://www.gnu.org/software/hello/>
