Sometimes people design languages just to get a concept out there, so other people can refine it and advance the programming field. Python was one of these languages, except the people refining the concept turned out to be the Python community.

If you don't like Python's syntax, then you don't like programming using Python. Just use something else. Python wasn't made to be a good C clone.

Something tells me you wouldn't like this language. Note that the text in the examples is not the code. To see the code, you need to highlight the page.

Nobody's hating on it; we're just saying how we prefer other languages due to their non-reliance on white space.

He is simply asking a spirited question.

A very spirited question.

It's basically my one major complaint with the language.

The rest of it is fine.

x=lambda y:y*2
print(x(2)) # prints 4
# check out how weird this is!
x=[lambda x:x*(i+2) for i in range(5)]
assert x[0](2) == x[1](2) == x[2](2) == x[3](2) == x[4](2)
# ...that doesn't fail. They all return 12.

Well, if you don't like if statements, then you won't like lambda statements.

x=lambda y:y*2
print(x(2)) # prints 4
# check out how weird this is!
x=[lambda x:x*(i+2) for i in range(5)]
assert x[0](2) == x[1](2) == x[2](2) == x[3](2) == x[4](2)
# ...that doesn't fail. They all return 12.

I was about to make a Python thread, but luckily I found this on my search.

Python is awesome! I am currently doing Programming for Everybody course on Coursera. It teaches Python. I am addicted to Python since then.

Also, this is one of my Python project. It flips text backward, just like my newest project, Flip That Text. (For your info, Flip That Text is actually based on the Python version)

plain_text = raw_input("Text to flip backwards : ")

char_counter = 0
char = None
result = None

while True:
  while True:
    char_counter = char_counter - 1
    char = plain_text[char_counter]
    if result is None:
      result = char
    else:
      result = result + char
    if len(result) == len(plain_text):
      break

  print result
  x = raw_input("> ")
  if x == "done":
    break

And a question: (from a newbie )
How do you generate random numbers? I think I read about it somewhere but I didn't remember where.
Can someone help?

This code wouldn't work

a=1 # Sets a variable called "a" to 1. (You couldn't set numbers tho)
a==1 # Is a equal to 1?

Also it's while TRUE and not while 1==1

Well then just use them

Python won't care
