Are you saying pocket protectors are out of fashion? Why wasn't I told?

Except for banging out scripts, I'm not really enamored with any interpreted language, and in particular duck-typed interpreted languages like Python or Ruby (to the point where I'm deleting Ruby from my resume, even if it leaves holes, because I am so sick of Indian recruiters calling me to see if I'm available for RoR work.)
Technically, Python is a "strong typed dynamic" language, in that a variable retains its type until you reassign the variable to a different type. Still, doesn't float my boat.
Where I work, some hotshot came waltzing in and implemented the server using Django, which is written in Python. Well, whatever, I guess. Wouldn't have been my choice.

I haven't used Python yet however I would certainly give it a go. I believe the Dropbox backend is written in Python, although it is being migrated to go. Dropbox was supporting some 300 million users and many, many more folders and files including sharing. That seems pretty industrial strength to me. From the font of all knowledge:
Quote: Originally, both the Dropbox server (running on the cloud) and desktop client software were primarily written in Python. From mid-2013 Dropbox began migrating its backend infrastructure to Go. The desktop client uses Python GUI toolkits such as wxWidgets and Cocoa. Other notable Python libraries include Twisted, ctypes, and pywin32.

I'm working in Python full time on a large financial services app.
I started looking into it about 18 months ago when I picked up a couple of machine learning books with code samples in Python, then I got some RPis to tinker with.
Personally I like the language.
The communities are good, I was just at my first PyConIE a couple of weeks ago and there are several large multinationals & financial services companies using the language.

I'm at the end of my career, but I like to tinker so I am using Python to play with Raspberry PI. I don't love Python and all the versions that are not backwardly compatible cause additional confusion. I'll continue to play with Python on the RPI but I wouldn't willingly use Python professionally.

You can’t run on a campsite. You can only ran, because it’s past tents.

Sure you can, well only if the tents were given as gifts, as they would be, present tents.

I ordered two to be delivered next Tuesday... future tents
|

So you are going to run past future tents? Did you order them as a present to yourself?

He did, but I've seen them in the warehouse and they are all seconds - the guy ropes are missing.
Which means he will run past future imperfect present tents.

What if he refuses to run past future imperfect present tents under the pretents of being hypertentsive?

If you run past perfect tents you had run. Just don't do it continuously.

The whole concept is really in tents.

Seems to be my time is up
The solution is:
anonym
The logic symbols meaning leading character (and not or not) giving you "anon"
The point indicationg that it's an abbreviation, and the question mark is representing the whole solutio (an anonym often gets represented by a question mark).
I've obviously missed the mark and I'll try better tomorrow.

I'm glad you understood it. Even with the explanation I'm none the wiser...but I am useless at these.
