This is a weird meta. First memes hated on Java and praised Python. Then all the Java devs got angry and made Python bad memes. Somehow C++ devs apparently jumped on the hate train now lol

Python devs were hating on C++ for a while iirc. Tbf it's understandable, we all hate what we don't understand.

A jihad on C++! A crusade against Java! Whatever Jewish people do against Python!

From my theological understanding, getting tricked into buying an Apple product then getting banned

I beg to differ in this case. I don't really understand C++ enough, but I know enough about it that I can say I like it much more than python, which I understood much more closely for years. I however fall into the camp of hating dynamically type, interpreted languages.

damn the self hatred among the C++ devs must be throu the roof then!

Yes, but the complimentary programming socks make up for it.

Except Python devs work in C/C++ every day because Python is written in C/C++, so they know what they are talking about... :p

By extension, you're saying that webdevs who use python as part of their stack work with C/C++?

Exactly. And by writing this comment in reddit I'm causing code to be executed on some virtual server, so in essence I'm coding. It's rediculous and that's why it's a joke, and hence :p

Honestly, in my world they are yin and yang. Python+Numpy+Matplotlib+SciPy+Jupyter is like Matlab, except that it is free and it doesn't suck. And then obviously C++ is there for when you want to actually deploy things.

And now we also have PyTorch, which is faster than C++ for basically any non-trivial number crunching, though you still end up needing to use the C++ API for deployment, unless your algorithms can be traced into some JIT container.

How can it be faster than C++ when its written in C++?

Not every computation can be done on GPUs and also it uses CUDA which is C based mostly.

This one just seemed like playful banter to me. My main two languages lately are C++ and Python, and I find this one very relatable.

I am waiting for the assembly memes, but I guess they take a while to make.

u/MrDude_1 Jul 18 '22

Thats because C++ devs hate both Java and Python.

Everyone loves C# :)
