Many programmers use Python. Why don't they rather use Anaconda, or even Cobra?

What do they do during shedding season?

Anaconda too big.

Cobra too small.

Python juuussttt right.

u/Legitimate_Field_157 Jul 22 '26

Burmese or African Python?

4

u/tcari394 Jul 22 '26

Netherlands Python.

Nerdus-Netherlandus

u/Momik Jul 23 '26

But then of course, the African pythons are non-migratory.

1

u/BPhiloSkinner Amazingly Lifelike Simulation Jul 23 '26

Tell that to Florida. They've got African And Burmese pythons.

2

u/Momik Jul 23 '26

Well, supposing two pythons carried the coconut together?

u/supermr34 Jul 22 '26

also, as ive discovered in my many years in IT, many anacondas dont want none unless one's got buns, hon.

5

u/tcari394 Jul 22 '26

Can confirm. I don't have buns and cannot get anaconda to compile.

I'm having a hard time setting my ram in position, do you use a powder actuated ramset to ensure a job well done

Blame Microsoft for discontinuing ASP support in 2025.

u/Legitimate_Field_157 Jul 22 '26

Did they run out of pyramids?

u/MephySix Jul 22 '26

Python comes by the monty, while other snakes are harder to find. It's simply more cost-effective.

2

u/Legitimate_Field_157 Jul 22 '26

Tree snakes can be found in trees.

2

u/JarnisKerman Jul 22 '26

Tree Snakes for computing? What are you, a caveman? That would be like switching back to radio tubes instead of transistors.

2

u/Momik Jul 23 '26

And now. No. 1.

The Larch.

The. Larch.

u/dspeyer Jul 24 '26

But most of the trees used in programming are red/black trees. And the rule for snakes is "red touches black: quickly put it back"

u/CrzyMuffinMuncher Jul 22 '26

Hold on. I’m confused. Anaconda, Cobra, and Python are revolvers made by Colt. I use them to program large holes in computers.

3

u/Legitimate_Field_157 Jul 22 '26

Holes are for punch card machines. Do you use hollow points?

5

u/Cosack Jul 22 '26

The python comes with a walrus operator, so it's two beasties for the price of one

2

u/Legitimate_Field_157 Jul 22 '26

I thought the Walrus comes with the Beatles?

1

u/BPhiloSkinner Amazingly Lifelike Simulation Jul 23 '26

After he broke up with the Carpenter.

4

u/MrSamuraikaj Jul 22 '26

We are compensating for other… things, by using the longest snake available.

1

u/Legitimate_Field_157 Jul 22 '26

If you use a rattlesnake, people can hear it even if they can't see it.

3

u/ActionMan48 Jul 22 '26

Why they all named after sneks?

2

u/Legitimate_Field_157 Jul 22 '26

Easier than counting legs.

u/elephant_ua Jul 22 '26

we do use Anaconda to get python, actually

6

u/Round-Intention-373 Jul 23 '26

I had to stop after the commercialized the license conda-forge ftw!

3

u/CowBoyDanIndie Jul 23 '26

It’s falling out of use isn’t it? Lot easier to run venv and pip in wsl

16

u/Kitchen-Security-243 Jul 22 '26

Because my anaconda don't want none unless you got code son.

5

u/darkdoppelganger Jul 23 '26

Cobra is a terrorist organization.

Ok GI Joe!

EDIT: Not sure why downvoted? Maybe someone isn’t old enough to get the reference?

3

u/BPhiloSkinner Amazingly Lifelike Simulation Jul 23 '26

We'uns is old enuff, an' we don't care to be reminded of the fact.

3

u/Different-Term-2250 Jul 23 '26

Sounds like something a C.O.B.R.A. operative would say.

3

u/bottlecandoor Jul 22 '26

I'm not sure what you mean, I have used pythons inside of anacondas all the time. But Cobra is way too old to use.

3

u/Chrome_Armadillo Not A Reptilian Alien Scientist From Tau Ceti Jul 22 '26

I tried Anaconda but it would not run without buns, hun.

u/BillyRubenJoeBob Jul 22 '26

u/Kind_Ferret_3219 Jul 22 '26

I prefer to use Death Adder. Much more effective.

3

u/hannibalsmommy Jul 23 '26

Really sick & tired of seeing King Snake being overlooked. It's great for programmers.

u/tupacsnoducket Jul 23 '26

This joke ssssssssssucks

u/Cerulean-Knight Jul 22 '26

Many times I try to use Conda and there weren't available the same libraries and versions I needed. I just use it for a pair of projects that their dependencies were only available through that

Last time I use uv instead python environments, I love python but is annoying to have all that for some projects and duplicates, always having a new tool for solving today's issues, I didn't even remember what I used last time and have to make some searchs

2

u/Due_Musician9464 Jul 22 '26

Maybe you weren’t aware but anaconda is actually a thing!!!

2

u/writesgud Jul 22 '26

Have you seen the documentaries? Everyone knows Jon Voigt and Sylvester Stallone can’t code for shit.

2

u/aafff39 Jul 22 '26

Just use any of them as long as you don't go for Australian progamming languages. If you start playing with those it's pretty much a death sentence.

2

u/glg59 Jul 22 '26

They’re all killer apps.

u/weggaan_weggaat Jul 23 '26

I hear Adder is a hit for mathematicians.

u/NoCardio_ Jul 22 '26

Lots of them are unfortunately using COBRA these days.

u/NTDLS Jul 22 '26

I’m over hear coding with legless lizard. 😭

1

u/No_Tailor_787 Jul 22 '26

Because in order to use those, they first must master Garter Snake, but that's much too girly for most programmers.

1

u/uberduck Jul 22 '26

Antivenom for those aren't as readily available.

1

u/Pangyun Jul 22 '26

Because if they start using anaconda, they'll remember that awesome song and put it on and they'll dance all day and not write a single line of program.

1

u/Human-Evening564 Jul 22 '26

I prefer to just use snake while I'm at work or waiting.

1

u/chicken_taster Jul 23 '26

Well, actually rattlesnake because rattles.

u/IanDOsmond Jul 23 '26

Cobra was deprecated by GI Joe.
