It is somewhat "C-like" but doesn't contain interoperabilty means (even like #define preprocessor).
One cannot reuse his code!
Python is a nice toy. Not much more.
I'd better say "Python rapidly moves to its place in a language ranking list".

Many of the opinions expressed here take a rather narrow view of Python. As one person said, it's like a formatted scripting language. True: but that is a front end for a formidable power-house of resources. It's also a far more accessible scripting language than Perl.
I use Python to develop large programs that run AI and Fluid-dynamic simulations. My usual language for that was C/C++, but for me Python opens up the door to accessing massively parallel computing through CUDA and PYTorch. This I can do, in an object-oriented way, without fussing around having to learn CUDA (the modern equivalent of assembler code?). I can easily run 2D hydro simulations on my nVidia card, I can run complex Neural Net programs and, best of all perhaps, I can develop beautiful visualisations.
There are several things to regret about design choices in the language. In particular the use of text formatting (indents!) to delineate stretches of code rather than parentheses - that's crazy but I live with it. Upgrades come thick and fast: that's good of course, but does cause problems with backwards compatibility (as in the recent upgrade to Python 3.8).
But it's all free - the work of people dedicated to providing a fantastic programming environment.
Now programming is fun - maximally creative.
Many thanks to all those people.

I never really got into Python, everytime I try something about it bores me. It seems to me that it would be good for processing lists which is possibly partly why it's so popular in AI: using numerical methods to update all those nodes seems well suited to Python (though I still prefer Java for this personally). Perhaps it just needs more jazzy tutorials to make it appealing.

"Best" includes how well easily it can be parametrized according to local formatting standards.

Maybe I should ask my employer about that.
Or even the company making that IDE (which as far as I know is itself written in Java), but with a lot of customizable dialogs written in HTML, handled by their ancient, built-in HTML interpreter lacking a lot of modern features, and providing no debug facilities beyond alert(). Since no standard browser is used for display, there is no "standard" debug options.
This solution was definitely not my first choice.

The "best", is the one that does what you want in all respects. But only you can decide which that is. What I think is the best may not do what you want.

I connect remotely to work via RDP and a win10 VM desktop.
I'm supposed to reset my password.
To do so I believe I have to send a Ctrl-Alt-Delete via on-screen keyboard.
It has worked in the past.
Now I get this cryptic informational warning / error...
https://i.stack.imgur.com/Fy98E.png[^]
To use the commands available when you press Ctrl+Alt+Del, click your user tile and choose an option. What!?!
NOTE: This is a complaint, not a question. 
I have no idea what a user tile is and I've been using windows of all versions since 1991. 
EDIT
Apparently a lot of people have no idea what the user tile is:
User tile, Windows 10. - Microsoft Community[^] 
|
|
|
|
|
The user tile is found by clicking on the 'Windows' button in the taskbar. This will show the "Start Menu". On the extreme left is a vertical list of icons, the first of which is the "user tile". Click on that and the change password option will show.

Exactly. It would be the entry in the Start menu showing whatever icon represents the user.

Well, it's obvious to you and me, but maybe not so obvious to someone who thinks differently...

I was not implying it ought to be obvious to anyone.
|
|
|

Our (work) icon is some generic thing and isn't even a shadow head icon so it isn't obvious and the term "user tile" is terribly generic too. And it is a terrible UI on that Start menu thing.
And over all just terrible interface. Really terrible.
It's esoteric information that if you know, you know. If you don't, you don't.

It's not just esoteric information; some of the so-called Fluent Design ideas are so subtle some people can't see any difference between the very first release of Windows 10, and today's version.

Thanks I did finally find that. But I don't have the rights to make the changes I don't guess anyways.
Plus the cryptic message that it told me was "click your user tile and choose an option"...
What would that mean? Which option? I wasn't sure. I tried change account settings but I'm not allowed to change it anyways.
I'm helpless and helpless is relaxing.

I use "Classic Shell" so never see the Win10 start menu. However intrigued by this thread I fired it up (Shift+click start for Classic Shell users) and found the "user tile". There are various options there but NOT to change password. There's a "change account settings" option but that just opens a Control panel screen that again doesn't provide access to a means to change password.
Conversely, using Ctrl-Alt-Del brings up a menu that includes "Change a password" - that does exactly what I'd expect.
|
|
|
|

Yes, you are correct. I was more just informing how to find / use the user tile.
It does seem like a reasonable place to put the change password option though ...

I have seen really weird things when changing password from remote (or logging in from remote where the password already was expired...)
By the way... I have used the same way with CTRL+ALT+DEL really long, but the most secure way is to go to the control panel >> users >> current user >> change own password

That was very helpful. I was able to get there on another Dev VM where I am an admin.
However, on the main machine I can't get to that because they don't let me be admin.
Anyways, check out the snapshot[^] that shows that I still have to click Ctrl-Alt-Del
it's Ctrl-Alt-Del all the way down!!!

That has nothing to do with admin rights... you are always allowed to change your own password and your profile picture.
If you can't get there, then they have deactivated it on purpose with some idiotic domain policy.
