Zig threw me off by taking sponsorships from AI companies, which was weird given their stance. Again, not a programmer, but looking to continue learning slowly and just by poking my head in the room sometimes, so I appreciate the recommendation. Any other languages you can soundly point me towards?

My only experience is in Python. I failed a basic course in it (lol), but I understood a lot conseptually, just struggled to memorize it all and work without references so ya know, tests were a fun time.
That said, my prof also voiced their distain for teaching Python, given its many shortcomings and the fact that other languages would be better suited for first-timers. Again, I struggled greatly with the course, but grasped the concepts alone quite well, so many of their points made sense and they kinda convinced me. Lol

All that to say maybe I DON'T want to learn a Python-like language. Can't even compile the damn thing. But I wouldn't know what other language to start with: one that's free of LLM bs and that's, like, not incompitent in such oddly specific ways as Python.

In Wing Pro, you can easily create a new block of Python code out of one or more existing lines by selecting the lines and pressing the ':' (colon) key. Details and other block management tips are at https://wingware.com/hints/wingpro-auto-editing-1 #pythonlanguage #python

This year's Python Developers Survey is out. Please consider responding and letting them know which Python IDE you use! 🙂 https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/7554174/c1-python-developers-survey-2023/ #pythonlanguage #python

In Wing Pro's Python turbo mode any non-symbol character is a completion key. You just type the next character in the code to auto-complete.

It takes some getting used to, but makes typing Python code a lot smoother.

A new beta release of Wing 10 is now available, with faster debugging for Python 3.12 and other improvements: https://wingware.com/wingide/early #python #pythonlanguage

A great way to develop Python code in Wing Pro is to run to a breakpoint and work directly in the runtime environment for which you are designing the code. Use a conditional breakpoint to select a particular case you're trying to fix: https://wingware.com/hints/live-coding #python #pythonlanguage

You can manage packages in your Python environment right from Wing Pro, using the Packages tool in the Tools menu. It works with pip, pipenv, conda, and (as of Wing 10) also Poetry: https://wingware.com/hints/packages #python #pythonlanguage

Wing Python IDE version 10 is now available as an early access release: https://wingware.com/wingide/early It adds support for Python 3.12, package management with Poetry, and code warnings with Ruff. #python #pythonlanguage

You can easily switch to a slightly magnified "presentation mode" in Wing Pro from the high-level commands menu icon to the right of the toolbar. For details see https://wingware.com/hints/presentation-mode #python #pythonlanguage

You can create multiple selections in Wing Pro to edit similar parts of your code concurrently. See the Edit > Multiple Selections menu and https://wingware.com/hints/multiselection for details. #pythonlanguage #python

Julia and Python are often seen as competitors, but in this video, I want to show the integration between them. Using the PythonCall and the JuliaCall packages we can call Julia from Python and Python from Julia.

Check my new video: https://abelsiqueira.com/blog/2023-09-05-best-frenemies-julia-and-python/

What other kind of integration would you think is very important for Julia?
Do you think the Python integration is enough to convince people to use Julia more, coming from Python?

You can jump to source code from any symbol used in the Python Shell and Debug Console in Wing Pro. This is a quick way to find code relevant to understanding and fixing a bug. Details at https://wingware.com/hints/goto-definition-in-shells #python #pythonlanguage #debugging

You can press Shift-Space in Wing Pro to show the values of all visible symbols that are defined in the active debugger stack frame. For details see https://wingware.com/hints/debug-value-tips #python #pythonlanguage

Did you know that you can quickly select logical units of Python code in Wing Pro with Ctrl-Up and Ctrl-Down? Press the keys multiple times to select more or less of the code structure. This and other quick selection tricks are described in https://wingware.com/hints/quick-select #python #pythonlanguage

You can set conditional breakpoints in Wing Pro, to isolate the particular case you are trying to debug. Just right-click on the breakpoint margin, then use the Debug Console to try out fixes and new Python code in the live runtime state that you are writing it for. #python #pythonlanguage #debugging

Another new feature in Wing Pro 9.1: Auto-import from the auto-completer adds both the selected symbol and the import statement necessary to use it. #python #pythonlanguage

The reasons given for #pythonlanguage not having increment/decrement operators are rubbish. I'm still making loads of silly mistakes without them!

A heads-up that Sunsetting of Python 2 is definitely(?) going to happen on Jan 1, 2020.

"That means that we will not improve it anymore after that day, even if someone finds a security problem in it. You should upgrade to Python 3 as soon as you can."
