#pythonlang — Public Fediverse posts

@tommytang.bsky.social On #ComputerLanguages for #Bioinformatics There is an era of #Bioinformaticians who learned #R #RLang back when #Python #PythonLang wasn't very good at statistics/plotting. More recently, the trend has shifted towards the latter.

There's been recent discussion about #POSIX & the #bash_shell. Some shells are awesome but don't even pretend to follow the POSIX standards. The #fish_shell is a good example.

Portability can be useful, but context matters too. Why deviate from standards? #LSB excludes #RubyLang but specifies #Perl & #PythonLang. #XDG is needlessly confusing. Distros may deviate from the #Linux #FHS because "reasons."

Goals & targets matter more than portability for its own sake.

New account, new intro post

Hi! I'm Skye, who used to be @[email protected]

Some quick facts about me:
- I'm #transfem
- I have #autism
- My sona, also called Skye, is a transfem shark
- I live in the #UK (aka TERF Island :/ )

My hobbies:
- I do a lot of programming in languages such as #c++ , #rustlang , #kotlin and #pythonlang
- I know a decent amount about HPC programming (I've used #cuda , #opencl , #hiplang and #vulkan compute)

- On the note of consoles, I own: an #xboxone S, a #PS3, an #originalxbox, a #Wii, and a #GameCube
- Other than programming aligned interests, I really like:
- #trains (expect me to post a lot of train photos/videos when I go on them lol)
- #cosplay - sadly I've never actually owned a cosplay or made one, however, I've been to quite a few comiccons around the UK, and one day, when I have the money, I'd love to make/buy a cosplay (I might make a cosplan post at somepoint?)

Anyway, thanks for checking out my profile!

I find it interesting that #Python seems to have replaced #Ruby as my go-to #scriptingLanguage?
My professional #coding experience is mostly with #RubyLang, and I've probably done the majority of my personal #scripting in it, along with #Bash script, but for the past couple of months I've mostly used #Python3.

At first it was to familiarise myself more with #PythonLang, but I can't quite put my finger on it why I'm still more likely to start a script in Python after this initial period.
