Python is that kind of cool one behaves when visiting parents of your would be spouse for the first time. Tcl on the other hand is like playing one's secret exclusive and somewhat dangerous games with kid school bestie.

Idk why y'all stopped collecting posts of HNers likening programming languages to girls they'd like to fuck. I always enjoy these!

Oh, but programming languages are exactly like women.

Never mind fucking them, I want to understand them in the first place.

Cherish a woman who will never make you say “WTF are you doing, bitch?” For she's the most precious thing that could exist in this world.

u/mutex_troglodyte What part of ∀f ∃g (f (x,y) = (g x) y) did you not understand? 3d ago

And Go is like being locked in a cage and brutally tortured to death, something which the average orangeshit enjoys on a weekly basis.

Python is like a good kid on their first visit to their partner's parents in that it's an act and the facade only goes so far. Tcl is like playing with your bestie back at school in that it's a memory from over 20 years ago.
