Even if you don't know Python at all, most programmers (even casual) can look at the code and grasp what it is doing (so, not C-like in this regard). Bob, thanks for this information. I've been aware of Python for a few years but never really investigated it. I'm all for making code easier to understand. There are so many programming languages these days, I yearn for the days when it was FORTRAN or assembly. Regarding compiled versus interpreted, I think that many would be surprised to know that the original BASIC at Dartmouth College in 1964 was compiled and ran on a GE minicomputer. BASIC implementations became interpreted when people like Bill Gates had to stuff BASIC on microcomputers. |
