Controversial Thought: Python > Javascript
Of course they are both needed and they are not really in direct competition. This is to say that Python can co-exist with Javascript beautifully and thus they are good friends, but honestly, python in my opinion is ten times more intuitive.
Ready for the flags!
I remember, back in the back when, messing with some scripts. There used to be a big community of MIRC users that contributed with snippets, battle scripts, administrative scripts, etc for what was then: "The Place to Chat!" - Times have surely changed, haven't day?
At any rate, as I'm digging my claws into python more and more, working on this little API bot of mine, I keep on remembering that scripting language, since it had that ease of deduction too. Maybe I'm not alone on this one, maybe I am, who knows. But this was super fun to me when I was a teenage nerd.
My assumption
I'm thinking that if any project is to apply these two languages perfectly or as close to perfect as possible, it would be by using Javascript only for the last miles so to speak. That is to say, do all the backend stuff, the heavy lifting, the calculations, the security layers, all that in python, and then just do the user interface on javascript and call it a Sunday.
I'm sure that a Javascript fan right now is going to correct me and tell me that you can do everything on JS, and yes, I know that to be true, but the better question is: Why? is there an advantage, I can't seem to see one at the moment, but I would not mind being wrong.
Beem is pretty awesome
For someone who is just getting back into this seriously, I'm quite impressed on how easy beem makes interacting with the STEEM blockchain. I don't think @holger80 gets enough credit for making it.
Before I forget, I recently added the first legs of my memo api script to github and I'm going to keep on adding features as time permits.
If you do checkout the code, please forgive my transgressions, as I am relearning how to ride the bike so to speak. Soon enough it won't take me a whole day to workout a replay (what I'm doing today) in case the bot crashes, but for now, I'm like the turtle, slow and steady.
Good thing there is no race, right?
I haven't been able to figure out dependency management in Python. I know there's pip, but every time I try and use it, I end up failing for some reason.
Try using
pipenv. If you are familiar withnpm, it is a slightly dumber version of the same sort of thing, except for Python. It works by leveraging the package managerpipto guarantee a reproduciblevirtualenvbased on a list of dependencies, which can be reconstructed by anyone who installspipenv. Since I have discovered it, it has become indispensable in my Python projects.Thanks, I'll definitely try that. Love npm, let us see how this is.
I enjoy python much more than JS. Code scales much easier and everything makes a bit more sense. However, javascript's ability to use its native interface to connect to HTML and make asynchronous calls can not be understated.
Javascript's natural abilities make it a go-to language for many applications, creating a network effect of projects that utilize it.
I agree. As I stated in my response, I also find Python much more enjoyable than Javascript, but I think you put the rest much more succinctly: network effect. It's simply overpowering.
hahahaha @soundwavesphoton ! you took this to negative.... good job
fallastes pechiche... esto es un bot para ti
I use JS, but Python is also great.

Python seems more friendly, I guess I'll see once I get to mess with js some more, maybe I'll change my mind

Subjectively, from my own point of view, writing Python is far more enjoyable than writing Javascript. However, looking at the current landscape objectively, it is clear that I am in the minority, or at least the silent majority, while the new blood rallies around JS and looks to shoehorn it into every application imaginable. Their opinions are the only ones that count anyway; the youth is the future, after all, and therefore I feel that knowing how to write Javascript makes my relevance more future-proof in the world of software development than knowing Python.
In general, if there is something I can do in Python rather than Javascript, I will. I write or at least prototype the majority of my personal projects in Python. However, I have considered forcing myself to use Javascript for even these things at least sometimes, since it is clear that it is outpacing Python as the de facto official language for all the things.
Of course I continue with my secret desire for Javascript to fall into obscurity outside the browser (or even completely). (Still though, I can't help but love
npm.) I also can't help but know it's not going to happen; at least not the way I would want it to. Python had its reign; Javascript is the future, for now, until something else is... and it's only gonna be something new and exciting; it'll never be Python again.(And that's tragic! xD)
Wow! You keep getting deep into this rabbit hole! Excited to see the results as code is literally a language I cannot understand! I like the passion I see though!

Python is just such a pretty language and beem rocks, so much easier to find the function you need than in dsteem! Although I must say that with ES6 I stopped hating JS :D
another test, this should store the id of the block on file.
for some reason it did not work
